Aloha from the big island of hawaii. Finally got time to check this thread, after stevens invitation. I don't do alot of rugged outdoor stuff anymore but I live real close to kealekekua bay and we try to get down there several times a week for swimming, snorkeling or kayaking. There are great numbers of tourists that come to rent kayaks to go out and see the dolphins that can usually be seen and also for snorkling near where Captian Cook met his death. It is a really beautiful spot and we still go there often , although we usually go to spots less frequented. We just sort of cruise. It is interesting to see what others are doing in other places. best wishes, n1

Croc,

Well, you got the great weather you were asking for. Did you get out?

We went to Guelph, did a little test-paddling, got out the plastic and ordered a new Swift Kipawa in Expedition Kevlar. We weren't able to find any used ones with wood trim. The canoe should be ready in a few weeks, hopefully in time for our trip to Temagami. If not, they will provide a loaner and the store is right on our way. Should make for a lot of fun this summer. I am checking out places nearby where we can paddle for a day or two especially on weekdays before school is out for the summer.

Stuart.
PS We got a good price on our trade-in, a 15 year old fibreglass Bluewater. I was surprised how well canoes hold their value if well kept.
