Thank You for this interesting trip report, I enjoy your writing with the matching images. I’m looking forward to the next installments.

I bought this T Shirt recently, cyber but not sure if it was on a Monday, I think my family thinks it’s inappropriate for my age but that’s what’s great about being old…I don’t care!

I have restored/painted quite a few fiberglass and Kevlar canoes, living in Connecticut at the time they were pretty easy to come by. Most folks would balk at buying a Kevlar hull with a crack and rotted out gunnels for $100-300, not me. I sold every canoe I restored, most at asking price but if...

JR Robertson coming along, it has closed gunnels which are new to me, and they need new ends. Pleasant way to wile away the winter in a warm shop.

Yea, not yet. 😉

Headwaters Canoe, We have a neat comparison of three different canoes of the same model in the shop this week - probably the most famous model: the 16' Prospector. On the left side of the first photo is a 16' Prospector built by Chestnut. We don't know which form this was built on at Chestnut...
