Anybody have pics of their canoes. Would like to see some that r loaded up for a trip and unloaded. I really enjoy looking at them.
 
Here's a couple of my Nova Craft Pal in the BWCA. Merry Christmas. Dave

Our Wenonah loaded up for 3 or 4 days. I think I could use a 17 footer.

 
jbull where were you going! Wow looks loaded for 3-4 months!

Here is a canoe loaded for an Everglades trip.



Very similar canoe loaded at La Verendrye Note no water and not as much stuff. Both trips were same length



On the Green River in Utah, desert country and mud!

 
Yellowcanoe,

if I'm taking the wife out in the brush for 4 days in November and December I'm packing a lot of stuff. But if it gets her out there with me I'm packing it.
 
This is a load I paddled down the Allagash with on 1 carry, we go tend to go a bit on the heavy side.







 
Here's MDB and a couple we hung with, on Lake Lila for 4 days...BTW, this was back in '83

I imagine you guys (and gals) are tired of me by now...
 


This was on a carry from Attean to Holeb..single carry on the Moose River Bow trip . Made possible by a 23 lb RapidFire. The usual portage was flooded and I took the alternative that follows an old logging road but with much greater change up and down in elevation.

Here's my Wenona Argosy loaded for a week in LaVerendrye, Quebec.

Here it is with the cover




Here it is empty playing around in the wind after a day of tripping
 


My wife is always waiting for me to "Stop dawdling, and let's get going."
 
Mine is light, fast, and manoeuvrable, great for flat water tripping. My only issue is with the cheap aluminum gunwales, and plastic end caps. I bought this trim for the weight savings, but it is a long way from the beautiful gunwales I've seen on this forum.
I bought it here :http://www.paddleshack.ca/muskoka/

Merry Christmas Red.
 
On the way out of Obukowin Lake in Atikaki Wilderness Park, Manitoba

It is a typical load for a 10 day trip in a too small boat for our size. This was taken approaching the last leg (2.2 km) of a 3 leg portage (5km total). We did 2 carries each on this trip.
