Great post, thank you!  Pictures are great and the archive photos add some cool context. 

Another good journey - thanks for the post!  

This may just be my luck in an A/B test but currently when I am trying to look at lake availability there is no longer a calendar link to click once you have selected a lake. Instead you need to use the master calendar and load all the lakes to view availability after finding the one you're interested in? I am running site scout so maybe there is a loading conflict but I am not seeing any errors on the page with the Inspect window open.

Is anyone else seeing this or do I maybe need to get some sleep?

ed: tested with site scout disabled and same result

A good read, thank you for sharing!

Itinerary looks good Shawn! I hope you don't get hit with too many boaters from the bay when you overnight at Topaz but having that one to yourself in the early morning should be amazing!  

Thank you for the input Scouter and Marko. Materials should be in this week for me to get started. 

Hi all, I picked up a used kevlar canoe from Portage Outfitters last fall. It has some cracked ribs I need to repair. Although I understand the basics of doing this I am wondering about aesthetics. In a perfect world when I'm paddling an empty canoe I would likely prefer not to see the cracks in the ribs that I have patched. Does anyone have experience with this?  Is fiberglass or kevlar going to be a better cover from a viewing standpoint (I appreciate kevlar is stronger); should I consider a double layer? Anyone other than www.rayplex.ca that I should consider for materials?
 

Great write up Drew!  It isn't every day that bloggers get to drop "exsanguinate" - well played : )  I love that you guys took a bucket of beach toys (group shot on Cedar). Who says grown men can't be kids? Certainly not the rope swing.
