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?

Brilliant fix! That's another item to tuck away in my memory just in case it is needed someday. Glad your trip was salvaged.

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).

Correct on both points, bugs and people. Will be our third September trip.

That he has. He's been in some pretty rough waters with that little canoe and does well

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.

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
