Canoe day(solo)..rental canoe, on Maine pond

[bigbog]

If these don't make the most amateur videos of the year's Top Ten List...I don't know what will. Had Tuesday to myself, rented a barge of a flatwater canoe(OldTown Discovery 16'9") monster!...my god, HAD to be 70lbs+..it's all they had for renting..:roll:
...So the labor(which I enjoyed AFTER Doing IT!) kind of rattled the brain around...got me thinking it was Monday!..in the narrative :lol:

Beautiful day...as you can tell, the 520 Powershot + push-button-photographer-mode + lame-amateur-narrative;-) exaggerates wind and shadow of clouds...

Hey Jerry,
Other than trying for a while to catch a few trout with a leftover-from-decade-past-trip_~3' leader...and paddling a tandem from the rear seat..:lol:...it was a terrific little daytrip! ;-)
Beautiful day!....just paddling around the edges of ponds like that is fun...water is usually 1-2' deep...
*Adult bull moose showed kind of late(for pic)..wandering out into pond for dinner. The pond is mostly around 6-9' deep...loaded with weeds on bottom = sure bet for moose to put on show in evenings.

...gets the heart pumpin'..

I meant the discovery canoe and not a pond ( just in case there was any confusion) .. I live by the "big" pond .. Looked like a nice day for a paddle ...

;-)....Those cruise ships(tandem Discoverys) really get the heart pumpin for awhile eh' Jerry!..? The carbon-kevlar tandems cost an arm & a leg, but those 38-48lbs(for most) are sure nice on the catch(off the car rack)...carry, and unload(off the shoulders)... ..but those Discoverys are indeed good exercise..
