Greetings from Maine!

[Riffle-Raff]

Hello all, dropping in from Maine. Mostly on the eastern/central side of things. I had some ocean going canoe experiences as a youth and rediscovered my love for canoeing back in 2022.

I've been a long time lurker, and look forward to contributing as I can along the way. I've always been a big fan of hobbyist forums. I feel there is so much left to say in regards to canoeing and forums are a great means of preserving community knowledge in a way that is lacking in other forms of social media.

Hi Neighbor, Welcome to the site, we have quite a few people from Maine here.

Welcome to the site, I like the play on words of your user name.

Welcome. A trip to Maine is probably 7-10 years away for me so I'll look forward to another possibility of seeing it through posts.

Welcome!

I am intrigued by your canoe poling ... when and how did you adopt this unusual way of paddling? Also which portions of Maine do you usually paddle?
