Well Hello! Welcome to the site! Your first canoe, wow, what memories that will start in all of us. One of the good news/ bad news things about here is we will all have an opinion; tell us if you will, about your plans on how and where you will use it? What is you aquatic background; I mean beyond the nine months we all share in common.
We've had a rash of spammers lately who had only the most tenuous grasp of English, it's really nice to have a sure enough paddler!
Welcome and Best Wishes,
Rob
