Perhaps this is Jimmy speaking through a tree here in Maine?

Brandy Pond. Map 49 in the Maine Atlas Gazetteer by Delorme. Seen while finishing the Allagash Lake loop. Look at satellite maps and you may see the shadow it casts. Must be part of a turbine. Copper, with a fine patina. The inner is concrete. This must have part of a turbine for an area...

Any Maine paddler encounter this? DP Copper’s escape capsule? Alien fuel rod? Jimmy Hoffa’s headstone?

SouthernKevlar, you purchased a canoe of youth. The composite Outrage is light years beyond the H2Pro in every aspect. Congratulations!

Eckilson, great surfing, attaining and ferrying video! Most impressive in a minor rockered canoe. Rock on!

Thank you Glenn. You’re a wonderful moderator of this forum, ever watchful and helpful. Fancy computer skills too! JD, you’re welcome and hope the water levels allow the trip you plan on. Getting into your desired put-in with road conditions and water levels is often the crux of a spring run...

Hi JD, Unfortunately this is the ideal map and out of print since the company no longer exists. Hopefully you can find one or more on the internet. Waterproof, 24”x 36” 2003, all you need. 1988, wife and I parked at Kit Pelletier’s, now Norm L’Italien, St. Francis ME. A float plane flew us...

Whomever the paddler is, regardless of the hull attributes- she or he with the best fundamental paddle capabilities will succeed with the greatest of ease. Vertical paddle strokes on-side and off-side, micro-tuning the stroke throughout effort and reading the water best saves paddler energy and...

The Hemlock SRT is just what it is. A solo river tripper. Certainly not a tandem, definitely not a lilly pad dipper and definitely a river tripper due to its length, width and composite build. No insult to the author, if you want a lower weight canoe, then lose the weight to meet your wants...

Great topic with great suggestions. The reason there are so many hulls is because canoe builders do not agree on other hulls that have been built. Personal preference to their liking and disliking. We are very fortunate there are many, many canoe designers and builders! For example: not ever...

Sounds great Art. However, this weekend is dedicated to the reindeer 🎅!

Great suggestions Glenn. Moving your body mass to on-side to off-side, bow, mid or astern helps to reduce hull contact with the water and aids greatly to the effort being attempted. Art, in a few months let’s get on the Ducktrap and figure some of these details out. I have two solo play boats...

Nice suggestion tomo. Yes, easy for me to stray from the initial inquiry. More often than not, slowing the canoe’s hull speed will allow the canoe to take on less water and keep the hull’s momentum going where you want it to go- “the line.” Always focus where you want to go, not ever where you...

Great video, thank you! Wife and I paddled the Ocoee in 1994. She paddled a Dagger Impulse while I was in Gyromax C-1. The rapid names sound familiar too. We were fortunate to stick around and watch the heck Hole Festival the next day. Darn good boaters down there!!

Golly Art, if you think the spray cover will add goodness to your SRT, go order one! Don’t hesitate, order purposefully and enjoy your days on the water. What color are you thinking of?

Been using a Big Agnes Ptarmigan ‘14x’14. Packs reasonably small and provides great coverage. Prefer the orange over the green. Orange casts a brighter mood than green on gloomy days. Not quite as bright as WolfsmanBrother!

CCS built a spray deck for a Wenonah RX Rendezvous, yet I did not use it once. Conditions simply did not demand using the spray deck. I gave the buyer the spray deck for no additional cost. Also have a Northwater spray deck for my solo Dagger Caption. Used it once during a heavy wind driven...

Hi Art, what causes you to want to add a spray cover to your SRT? Adding tie-downs/D-rings/adhesives and float bags to maintain buoyancy will certainly help. The Hemlock SRT has attributes for whitewater, yet is not a whitewater playboat. The attributes are flared bow, narrow beam, deep bow...
