quote GraniteCliffs: "Yes, mine has a name. It simply "The Joint."
Not what you are thinking.
I actually bought it together with my brother and our very close friend. Hence, the three of us jointly own The Joint."
That's funny. I had a friend that had a pet rabbit that he named "pie"

La Bamba is my solo canoe.
Gerth is one of my tandems.
Fang is my other tandem.
I have another old, black Coleman canoe named Reverend LeRoy after a Flip Wilson character.

I set a goal of losing 10 lbs. this year. I only have 15 left to lose.

My Mad River Traveler is called, "The Mad Bunny". My Savage River, Deep Creek Solo Carbon, is called "The Dark Lady" but they both have the same problem, they are really hard of hearing, no matter how loud, sweet, or demanding you call them they will not follow you over the portages, they demand to be carried. FRED
Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked, the good fourtune to remember the ones do, and the eyesight to tell the differance.

That's the main proble we all have. When canoes were made the maker forgot to include ears, legs and feet :-(

My Magic is named Burnice, she is named after the gentleman I purchased her from. I'd like to tell Burney that I am taking her back to Pickerel Lake this June, covering some of the same water he highlighted on the maps that came with the boat.

My first solo stripper was named Murphy after the Murphy's portage along the North Kawishiwi. Sold that one and made another, her name is Charmaine named after the toughest woman I've ever known. She passed away due to cancer, but only after beating it 3 times.

quote ockycamper: "I told some of the young guys that went with us two years ago that I painted the name "Wenonah" on the canoe and that it was indian for "wet but"."
You southern boys have always been able to spin some yarns.
How long did they believe it?
May the rivers be crooked and winding, and your portages lonesome, leading to the most amazing view.
