I took mine on the PIgeon today- lots of folks in rafts, especially guides asking about it. I took some creek lines it handled really well. Getting it dialed in. The guys I paddled with had trouble loading it, so I will be adding some "handles" near the thwarts I think.

What are the odd's?

On the way to see my friends at the "Symco Shakedown"... I found this small town located on the Little Wolf River...

84 people... one class IV rapid... and not enough water to bother running it.

Believe it or not... in the little Town of Big Falls Wisconsin is...

... can you read it?

Yep... Ledge Street

All red boats turn Pink, just give it a while. Of course if you live up north and don't paddle three times a week, and the sun hardley ever shines it will take a little longer.

Apparently you've never sunburned the bottom of your nose while ice fishing or skiing.

I can assure you... it isn't pleasant.

Up here it is sunny 24/7...

You are correct Ice fishing or skiing doesn't sound pleasent.

Paint for plastic that is about the dumbest thing I've ever hear of. First trip and you are goin to have a Green boat with a buch of red showin through the strached paint. Dye on the other hand......

I ain't never lost anything north of the Mason dixon line or West of the Missippii. and I got a couple of hunderd river and creeks I still ain't done down here, beside those places have very short season, or short mountains one. Nope don't own any cold weather gear and don't see the need to get any.
