Several years ago a discussion here lead me to a short essay about the solo canoe/canoeist. As I recall the article was from an older paddling magazine. The part that sticks in my mind is the distant image of a canoe closing fast in the evening light, finally coming into view as it overtakes the onlookers to reveal a solo canoeist moving with uncommon grace, etc. Pretty over the top I know but I would like to track it down if I can and use it to coax a friend into buying his first solo. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
