Darn Collin! That hurts look'n at it.
If yah need a boat, and gumpy's doesn't work for ya, I'm pretty sure there is something in the "grave yard of elephants" behind the wood shed that ya can borrow (best option I can think of is an very well used H2Opro).
It will be old, ugly and most likely bent in a place or two but it will float!
Or you can be a true hard core Cboater and break out the duct tape!

Hey Colin,
My Nitro's always available if you need a boat.
Give me a call/msn.

I recall an experience Colin had in a Nitro. Maybe not the best idea. What do you think Colin?

Colin. Dude. Cool. You have big kahunas! If you jumped into that then I'll paddle the Cheoah with this year at ALF. Will swim and laugh together

But your boat. Is that the same poor boat that suffered at ALF this past year??

Yeppers ... same boat ... I don't know why she puts up with all the spousal abuse

She hasn't divorced my butt yet

Not sure about the Cheoah ... I looked at that once when the water was dropping and it scared the crap out of me ... I went and did the Nanty instead.

Looks like y'all had a trial separation - glad to hear you are patching things up.

Nice ride and nice photos and video too! That big boat of yours doesn't look so big in that hole. Are you gonna silly putty the end of the boat back together and put a sticker over the repair? Just wondering...., otherwise you may be needing a new boat soon.

Marks comment... priceless

Please note that the guy edited out all of the canoe rolls but left in the swims. I was in the first canoe shown. I was using a new paddle which had a shellacked T-grip and the T-grip slipped out of my hand. I hit a quick roll but, of course, it was edited out. By the way, I now sand all the shellac off all my T-grips.

Hey Colin,

Knowing the friends you make, travelling and virtually, and the photos you take and the stories you share, if I were Esquif, I'd make you an official ambassador of ww canoeing and just give you a fresh boat!
