Nice, Crash
Looks like fun.

[randyt]

awesome!!!!!

[Phaedrus]

It looks like a great shakedown cruise!

[natertot]

Awesome pics, Crash. Glad you got to take it out on a maiden voyage! So, what did you use to christen her? Gout de Diamants?

[madmax]

Very nice. It's amazing how big a fish those Ospreys will go for.

[Pennsylvania Mike]

Beautiful pictures as usual, good luck with your new canoe.

[hunter63]

You made it back to post the awesome pic's......
That means the voyage was successful...Congrats.

Niiice. So I assume that water moves. Is it tidal water or a lake or a river? How fast does it move?

[crashdive123]

It's a river that flows into a lake (dammed at one end for conservation control) so currents are mild. The afternoon sea breeze kicked in pretty good, so a nice headwind on the return paddle. The tunnel hull tracks pretty well even in the wind.

[chiggersngrits]

That's some nice looking water. Seems like every time I go out I am into a headwind. Can be tougher than fighting current. Do you have some kind of anchor? I am using a pole anchor because I am mostly in shallow waters.

[crashdive123]

We did not bring an anchor. We will when we go fishing.

[tundrabadger]

You get incredible birds down your way, don't you?

[crashdive123]

We do, and as y'all get that white stuff on the ground more and more arrive. Some even stay. (You realize of course there is a northeast snowbird joke that is just begging to be played.......too easy though).

[BENESSE]

Relaxing, just looking at the pics. Thank you for giving us a glimpse of your world. Wish I was there right now.

[Mannlicher]

that's a sexy little devil Crash! Can't wait to get in it. :)
