Hobie might disagree but in my opinion no canoe or kayak is safe in
rough water, especially cold water. It doesn't take long to lose
breathing abilty in those circumstances. Don't ask me how I know.

Maybe a more sensible option would be a 8' Zodiac type yacht tender with a 3 hp motor. I want something I can easily manhandle up onto my utility trailer and then remove onto a stand when the trailer does it's real work..


I have something very close to what you describe. It's for sale
but unfortunately it's in Florida.


Well, hell, put it in the water and drive it up to Canada. It's not as
if you have any important to do.



If he waited for Maria to arrive, he'd probably get pushed all the way up..no need for a motor or fuel.

for the kayak and 65 fully assembled. Can check the kayak in it's bag in
an airplane. Without the pedals, and seat, is under the 50# limit saving
overcharges.

BTW..how much do they cost down there...I expect they'll be 50% more expensive here.



I had a Hobie rigid hull (plastic) version of this. It had the pedals
and "flippers". It was amazing how fast you can get them going if you
can pedal hard, fast and long enough. I used to race the launch service
boats in the harbor with mine and could often keep up with them.

You could probably get Harry to drive it up to you and save the tax up there.



He'd have to "declare" at the border with customs. That's when they get
you.

An inflatable from Florida...??
I understand sun is it's greatest enemy...even if Hypalon. A year down there is probably equal to three or four up here.


Really. When I'm not using it I put it away. I don't leave my
stuff lying around in the yard like some lazy folk I
know.

Nope. One of my musician friends from when I had the guitar shop was an
avid kayaker. He'd often venture out in the ocean briefly off of
Scituate, MA but mostly stayed in the North River which during tide
changes can develop a very strong current.

One weekend he was missing in action. They found him (dead) near his
upturned kayak. His bag of weed was still dry though.

He would probably want a bonehead delivery fee.

Are you going to buy that rifle from him that he is practically
giving away? Is it the one he assembled himself with parts and
pieces from different vendors?

Nope. I've got one. Don't need his.

Couldn't Harry say he was just going to go fishing with Don up in NS? Or do you think Harry would
have to pay something.

He could try lying. Canadian Customs are pretty sharp though.

What is this, the idiot hour? You and Herring should get a room. OF
course, the motel manager would have to fumigate it afterwards, what
with the Herring the Racist stench. I'll leave it to your Trumpsters to
lie to the police, American or Canadian.
