    "The Saddle" by Perception

    I was given something to me by a friend called "The Saddle". It's a polyethylene seating/kneeling platform for canoes. It was made by a company called Perception in SC who appears to still make Kayaks today. I found some pics online and it appears to mount between the thwart and yoke and...

    paddling for charity

    I'm recently retired and have plans to canoe several major rivers on the east coast this year. I hope this turns into at least 1K miles. As I've been working on my plans I started thinking about needy non-profits that could benefit from donations by donors for every mile, hour or day paddled...

    Very cool hiking and fly fishing surrounding you. I hope to paddle much of the New and Yadkin Rivers this year.

    As said, I did the middle section. I got a little spoiled as 5 out of 7 nights were in canoe camps (20x20 roofed and screened shelters with electric and showers). No white water so a very relaxing solo trip.
