I lied, just boats. This is our hot new canoe! It's a Mad River Canoe from...uhm...the 90's, we think . One of Geo's clients used to be a canoe rep and apparently still has a fairly large stock pile of canoes. Among them George sniffed out this sweet gem which his client kindly traded him some work for. George spent the weekend sanding and oiling all the cross bars and acquiring a new set of seats. He even braved a tanning salon to get his hands on some UV protectant for the hull. We'll have to wait until next weekend to take it out for a spin though, the skies are threatening rain and it's getting a little chilly. I see this canoe being one lean, mean, adventuring and picnicking machine.
This is especially exciting since we'll be returning to the North East in the near future for ... good? the long haul? a while? serious? For serious. We're returning to the North East for serious and the North East happens to be chock full of bodies of water - ponds, lakes, rivers and we'll be navigating them all in our canoe.
