Hello from.the netherlands

[dutchlennart]

new here not in paddling or online chatting a out it.

Glad to see a nummer of familiare names.

And even some i have seen in real live.

Currently i live close to Amsterdam .
In Northern Amerca terms i guess all dutchies live close to Amsterdam.

this is a pic of homewaters with my gf paddling a aria build my Tom Mckenzie.
I did this paddle in a hemlock eaglet.

We do short trips and sometimes longer ones.

We also coach solo freestyle .

Very nice canoes. What is that home water, a fresh water pond?

Are you the Lennart who also paddles a beer cooler?

Welcome, that looks like nice water in your picture. Iam a big fan of mvp (Mathieu van der Poel) great cyclist from a great legendary family. If you don't mind me asking? How did the eaglet land in the neatherlands.

That is me as well. The beercooler is also in the Fleet.

Homewater is currently a small canal that enters a lake of about 3 x 6 km .

Sadly the last 5 years or so new quality canoes are not much getting to mainland europe.

Good Morning Lennart!
Sorry, but I'll not be meeting you again this year at the Dutch Canoe festival as I'll be in a canoe in Canada instead.

Welcome. Always nice to see pics from other parts of the world. I know some people that portage beer coolers but never seen one paddled before. With the lid open like that, doesn't the ice melt faster (or do you prefer warm beers)?

No beers for me...
This one is mainly used for paddling. I have seen lids for this model but i only have the bare hull.

Sacrilege! (just kidding. Your, umm, feet would get cold sitting in the ice anyway. Never did see the point in ice baths... tried once... NOPE))
