Tori and I had to be in Toronto and we managed to fight traffic to meet up with Chris from Nova Craft who took time out of his very busy schedule to deliver this canoe to me. We met somewhere in Mississauga in rush hour in a parking lot, a little different than were you usually see me with a canoe. But the next day, I was home and slipped the beautiful canoe into the (finally) pean water in a bay behind my house. The Blue Steel material is very light, but also much more durable than ultralight canoes. It's even been proven on long, northern river trips. My plan is to use it on multi-day solo trips that involve a lot of lake paddling with big portages in between. I think it's about the perfect thing for trips like this, particularly when you may have some river paddling and the odd moderate rapid to contend with and I never like to be outgunned. In all, it felt magical on the water and I can't wait to take into the interior of Algonquin Park for my brook trout fishing trip with Shawn James of My Self Reliance and my brother Ted Baird next week.
