I started a thread about advise on buying a canoe. Thought it would be interesting, to see some pictures of your on water trips. This is what I'm thinking of buying, a Wenonah 18' Jensen.
My Souris River Quetico 17 on its maiden voyage this spring. The ice had left the lake the day before.
We got about 15" rain so far this storm is about halfway. All roads closed. No entrance rds to my town are drivable? National Guard getting called .:huh
Nice Jensen!! Those are hilariously fast when ya goose 'em a little. My Spirit III is excellent for all my local water, from class III to lakes w/ moose meat loaded to the gunwales. Lean it up on a chine, paddle it like a kayak and it acts like a 12' solo! We-no-nah canoes are nice, and a lot tougher than you think.
Hey...ya never know when the fog might roll in. The kids fool'in around. These recreational fiberglass kyaks are made by The Western Canoe Co. (Clipper Q Stars) in Abbotsford BC and only weigh 24 lbs. Little hot rods on the water. Love'em.

Western Canoe Co. makes great boats . . . we've had a kevlar Clipper Tripper for over a decade and have paddled everything from Puget Sound & great lakes to lazy rivers. They're even making the Prospector line now that was popularized by Bill Mason
