I finally got a chance to finish the "recycled" paddle, made from repurposed western red cedar (from old utility poles) and hard maple (from salvaged flooring). It's a SHALLOW WATER SPECIAL. LOA is 51". Since I have no personal need for it, it will become one of the few "stock" paddles that I...

Today on the Withlacoochee River. Paddled with the Marion County Aquaholics.

I'd go with the Penobscot. If you have the option of installing (assuming that it does not already have) a "center" seat, that would be a great improvement. Front edge of the seat should be 4-6" behind the centerline. Height to be for your comfort, but generally 8" or so from the bottom of the...

Great Egret on Silver River

34" shaft. 51" LOA

Looks like a cozy little workspace.

I recently came upon a source of recycled, old growth, western red cedar. It's beautiful wood but certainly not clear stock. It takes a lot of planning on how/where to cut/mill, to work around the knots and other defects. Given the scarcity and cost of buying clear stock and the fact that it is...

Little blue heron on Rainbow River.

Obviously not taken by me but taken of me by my friend Sheila. I'm in my Savage River June Bug, Sheila was in my SR Illusion. I'm photographing otters on Rainbow River in Dunnellon, Florida.

Bridge cameras all have a removable SD or similar card so getting photos onto your laptop is as simple as removing the card from the camera and plugging it into the laptop. Additionally, most give you an option of transferring via a cable and some also a wireless option. My only caution with...

Most of the time, it is. The lens is pretty dang sharp, focuses quickly and is easy to handle, in the boat. It's also my hiking lens. I have a 180mm-600mm that I use for for "serious" wildlife photography. I've used it in the canoe, a few times but it is a bear to handle.

You are not wrong. I don't even own a smart phone. Phones, in my opinion, are for making phone calls and sometimes text messages. I proudly own a simple, flip phone. More to the point, my standard photo setup is a Nikon Z6III with a 28-400mm zoom. It's not for everyone. Some folks think I'm...

Not for everyone but my camera/lens combo of choice is a Nikon Z6III with a Z 28-400 mm Nikkor zoom. I say it's "not for everyone" because A. It's not an inexpensive package to have in the canoe. Further, if one expects to take good wildlife photos, it cannot be packed away in a dry bag. It is...

Juvenile, Little blue heron on the Withlacoochee River.

Maybe. Getting mixed opinions. Some suggest, northern harrier.
