With the discount, the utensil roll was basically free."

TomT: "3 McKenzie maps for Quetico and the newest Jerry Vandiver cd.


I spent a lot of time at Swift boats. Took in some good presentations and could not find CCS. Did Dan decide not to do it? The were listed for the show. Maybe I'm just blind.

dudz3636: "Does anyone have any more specifics on the new Swift Cruiser? I bought replacement tractor seats for my Sawyer Cruiser from Swift, as it is my understanding Swift purchased the seat and mount design from Sawyer many years back. The seats were identical to the ones I pulled off my canoe, only white. I'm curious if it bears any likeness to the Sawyer Cruiser?"

WIMike: "Three paddles (kayak, straight shaft, bent shaft), couple compression dry bags, hammock, yoke pads, microfiber towel, pillow and life jacket. Managed to attend all three days without buying a kayak.
Also attended 5 seminars, all of which were worthwhile. "

awbrown: "Two pair of Fits Socks and a couple of freeze dried meals. I noticed a number of new vendors this year. Lots of nice looking canoes this year. We also took in the "small" camping trailer show next door. Jeez, they don't give those things away. One little bitty Airstream was around $50,000.........I'll stick to my tents."

Dang, missed you Art!
I got a 280cm Bending Branches Slice double blade for my Wilderness solo. Tried it out today, seems to work pretty well. Kish is rolling pretty quick, it was work going upstream but doable.


Also got a 54" Wenonah Black LIte Elbow and an Old Scout reflector oven. Can't wait to bake up some goodies on this year's trip!"

Hey Frenchy19, could you post some pics of your shearwater in the solo forum? I'd also like to know if you have skidplates or the foot brace. A review would be very helpful to me. This is a big volume solo tripper and I was disappointed they only had one at the show and it was standing vertical. Thanks for your help. If the canoe gods are with me you'll see one with a "Sold to TomT" sign on it next Copia. :)

Sorry I missed you. I was easy to spot, I was the guy wearing the Stormy Kromer hat and the flannel shirt..............Oh........Hmmmm...... never mind.

Hmmm, looks a bit like the Yost designed Sawyer Shockwave? Nice boat, a friend has one.

Wish I could have been there!"

Nice meeting you back there and thx for the help!"

Thanks Frenchy19 for the compliment regarding my daughter Amy's accordion performance. She had a great time playing with Jerry, Ashlee, and Amberly and contributing to Jerry's new song. It was also nice to finally meet you as well!

The "Canoeing with Daddy" song seemed to have a similar affect on many in attendance, including me. Very cute, especially if you have canoeing daughters and/or sons as I do. I don't think they could have found a more adorable little girl than Virginia to perform that song at Canoecopia.
