    L.L.Bean no longer sells, canoes, kayaks, paddles, PFDs or canoe accessories

    I agree Bill and you had to go up some creaky stairs to get to the retail store. Jim

    Show us pictures of your canoe vehicle with boat(s)

    I am lucky, I married just that woman. She is just as supportive of tools also, but I am working on thinning down the tools I own and I don’t do too much buying anymore. Jim

    17' Old Town wood/canvas derelict (well maybe)

    At least Mem suggested isolating the wood from the fiberglass so it is easy to revert back to canvas if one so chooses. Jim

    17' Old Town wood/canvas derelict (well maybe)

    I can’t think of a better boat to learn on. You can’t make it any worse than it is. Don’t get overwhelmed by the entirety of the project just take it one task at a time. You will learn a lot. Jim

    First Aid Kit Container - Soft vs. Hard

    Coffee in A Canoe

    Alcohol is about as quiet as you can get. Another plus is water easily puts out the fire especially in the canoe, but wind could be an issue. No easy answers. Jim

    Semi permanent 32” roof rack pads - source?

    I had some short knap carpet that I wrapped around my pipe rack and securely wrapped it with duct tape. These are eight years old but they don’t live outside all the time, but but at least half the summer. When they fail I know how to replace them. Jim

    Don't take covered Yakima landing pads through a car wash

    A lesson for sure but to be honest my brain went to something far more catastrophic. Jim

    Sea anchors and drogues

    Thanks bark-eater I’ll peruse it this evening. Maybe I can get it thru my library, I’m generally not fond of electronic books but I’m glad they exist. Jim

    Heat the water with rocks heated by a fire. Jim

    If there isn't a canoe trip...

    It is amazing how stable they actually are with the sail up. I have faith you will do fine. Jim
