08/05/2022 02:19PM Good work on that repair! I broke a custom, triple-bend paddle on Malberg a couple years ago on a barely-submerged rock that I failed to see. After getting over my heart break (it was and still is my favorite paddle I've ever made) I casually reached forward, released the BDB from my two spare paddles and continued paddling with the bent one. I've dropped/slipped/lost grip/bumped into the water while fighting a fish so many times while paddling solo I don't think I'll ever get in a solo boat with just one paddle, in fact I usually have 3 in a solo and always 3 in a tandem. How many people here paddle a solo canoe with only one paddle in the boat? |

07/31/2022 04:38PM Did same one trip, snapped a bending branches in half first day in and spliced it together with gorilla tape. Had a custom double bent shaft paddle the rest of the trip. Bought me a $17 super light aluminum shaft paddle as a replacement and would never go back to the over priced one again. Nicely played. Yeah, that’s a shorty canoe, did you break that in half too. Haha just kidding. Cheers, scat |

07/31/2022 10:44AM Very impressive. Just yesterday I was reorganizing all my gear (how did I get so much???) and there was my roll of duct tape. I put it in the "emergency" box. I also have a small roll of flex tape that I think I'll start taking as well. Thanks for this report. |

07/29/2022 06:38PM Correct on both points, bugs and people. Will be our third September trip. |

07/29/2022 11:31AM Nice fix, proud father moment. A little bit of 100 mile a hour tape has saved the day for me a few times. Enjoy your September run less bugs, fewer people (maybe). |

07/29/2022 09:34AM Brilliant fix! That's another item to tuck away in my memory just in case it is needed someday. Glad your trip was salvaged. |
