Howdy FE.
I was looking and lusting at my Wenonah Vagabond in our boat barn today as the rain, lightning and thunder came roaring through.

Back at ya, Elmo!

Maybe I’ll paddle a canoe tomorrow.

Spam and Tang a great preservative for body and soul! Viva Le Canoe !

Sure, why not? Have had my solo kevlar canoe on top of my car for weeks. Been dropping in on local ponds and rivers on a whim, given the ease of loading/unloading an eighteen pound boat compared to a 50-60 pound kayak.

Happy lily dipping. :wink:

Sing, which solo canoe do you have? My lightest is 32 lbs.

T’aint’s Preserve Us - The Salt Mine Works In You

Spam and Tang
for self-preservation
spaced-out dinner at McD’s
without reservation

burning Spam for ascension
how offal the g’s
as gastro-grab reflex
gets you down on your knees

then Tang locks you in orbit
for the swill of it all
till you fall from high graces
in a lavatory stall

and if that’s not large fry
adding in salt to attack
of fast-n-furious food
taking down a Big Mac

And yet, the big Elmoski abides.

And the Beanie Weenies really tie the Fat together, mannnn!

Canoe Believe!

Heck, only my waveskis are lighter by a pound or two but these I can only enjoy when we get some storms to stir up Pond Atlantic…

Love high speed, low drag paddling.

Sing,

I suspected that it was either a Hornbeck, Slipstream or Placid.

Which profile did you get?

Enjoy.

Wow, only 18 pounds? Maybe I should think of switching to the dark side.

14 lbs, if you get the Blackjack construction. http://www.hornbeckboats.com/boats_bjnt_12.php

Ok. I’ll go for that on my 70th… LOL!

Having trouble wrapping my head around a 12-foot boat that weighs 14 pounds. Seems like it would be mighty fragile.

Wait until ‘graphene’ gets going.
example -
https://graphenest.com/the-lightest-kayak-in-the-world-made-with-hexabond-by-graphenest-sipre/
(though I don’t think 20lbs (9.3kg) is the lightest kayak, even at 18’)

I’m counting on the availability of the 10lb yak when I hit 90 (a bit of a ways off at this point)

It’s really only the Dark Side,
if you don’t keep the sunny side up,
while your feet are on pegs we’re tanning our legs,
through tempest in our little tea cup,

and some play a roll as the heavy,
in their lodgings below the main deck,
wedged firm in their room like unwatered mushroom,
whilst trough trilliums beckon shipwreck,

But I say to you dear lovely madam.
you hully rollers might be partially right,
yet if we be the dark come take righteous lark,
might take a load off to step in this light

Funny you should wax poetic about that. Have to say… I’ve been thinking about ways to strap myself in the canoe. I am pretty sure I can roll that baby and make it a “dark side” canoe. LOL!

So when backpacking at the end of the day I would use Tang as a mixer with Tequila. I called it a Tequila Sunset!

I’d call that The Last Questionable Act of Socrates, done in (by)the Hem-n-haw-n-hurt Lock, errr…Methode!
