I bought myself a new boat in the end of season sale at Knoydart, so we
will go up next week to pick it up. We're thinking of making a weekend
out of it, stay the night and go for a paddle the next day before driving
back. Assuming the blizzards will have stopped by then what ...

I plan in December to go to Florida with a family to some kind of
eco-trip. I want to be able to rent a kayak for 1-3 day trip (without
kids) and with a family to go hiking, site seeing, short canoe/kayak
trips and some activities for 11 year old kids. I prefer lake/river

(I did not get this posted correctly earlier....here is another
effort).
Please excuse my Faux pas. If that is the system I will accept it.
Let me ask this.

I am planning to buy a whitewater canoe, preferably used.  I looked a
little on the web, but found little on how to choose a whitewater canoe.
I have been running whitewater in my Old Town Camper canoe, not exactly
the right canoe for the job, but I have successfully run class III ...

class II and III rapids, ocean surf and leisurely rides down a calm
river. From my research it seems like the Dagger Pegasus sit-on-top
kayak was exactly what I'm looking for. It is no longer in production.
Can anyone recommend a good, all-around sit-on-top kayak.

NRS and other kayak equipment manufacturers make tow belts but
incorporate Aluminiun Climbing Beeners into the mix.
We that play on salt water soon realize Aluminium and The Sea are a bad
mix.

A little late in the telling, but this fun event (3rd year) was held Oct.8
& 9th in Eureka, California.  It was a glorious weekend, lots of sun, with
a very light breeze in the afternoon.  Oh wait, it's always foggy and/or
raining here......Lots of vendors, different programs, and ...

since i am a great lover of good fiction, i am wondering of there are
any recommendations for stories of the river. in particular, are there
stories, such as 'Deliverance' that have paddling as a certral part of
it? i have also read 'a river runs through it' and though i really

I've got a Wenonah Voyager and I am very pleased with it, it is indeed a
very fast flatwater solo, although one or two reviews on paddling.net are
overstating things a bit, likening its speed to an olympic K1.
At the end of the day, you have to have the strength and the stamina to ...

I've found "It's My Life" video clip and two other short movies
featuring Nic Riosa, New Zealand marathon racer, racing mostly in Europe.
Increadible balance and technique for launching from a dock and portaging!

I'm looking in the New England region: used is preferred, but I could
be convinced to take a new one for a screaming deal.  :-)

Has anyone tried to paddle from Roosevelt Lake to Granite Flat along
the Salt River.  I was looking at this on Google Earth and was
wondering if the three dams at Apache, Canyon and Saguaro Lake can be
portaged?  I am looking for a Canoe Camping/Fishing trip that will take
