I must buy a canoe this year

Posted by Tricia in Friday, July 20th 2007   

I’m so envying my blogging friend RennyBA. You’ve seen him here many times as he’s a faithful commenter.

He recently had some very good friends come and stay with he and his family and they did some outings together. One of the things they did was go canoing on a beautiful lake. Lovely.

I swear I was born in a canoe. I used to white water canoe - now that’s an adventure!

Being Canadian you either play and live hockey or you are an avid camper and or canoeist - or something in between. Trouble is I haven’t been in a canoe in ages. It’s like a craving now after reading his posts and looking at all the photos they took.

I miss canoing and boating so much! We have a pop up trailer. I think I’m going to get a canoe sometime this summer and use it. I must get back into a canoe.

I can always store the canoe where we keep our trailer. Might as well have the complete outdoor package together right?

Does anyone else enjoy canoing or boating?

I always wanted to do white water rafting, but have never done so.

I think Canadians and Norwegian has a lot in common. Flora and climate is one of the and the fascination of the nature. I know there are a lot of Norwegian emigrants in Canada too, especially in Vancouver.
I guess you refer to my posts: Canoe cruise and Live steaming :-)

Btw: Good to see your bog on stage again!

Wow - cool I found Renny again. Renny used to visit my blog a long while ago, but in the meantime I’ve moved to my own domain, and blah blah blah…

Canoeing is nice - we used to do it in England, and I suppose with the recent floods there a canoe would come in handy. However, in South Africa I haven’t been canoeing in ages either. White water rafting is a different story — sounds adventurous and fun, but a bit too scary for me :P

It’s funny that you wrote this article. I’ve been searching all over for a used canoe I can afford. I just want to get out on the water, do some paddling and some fishing. I didn’t think it would be that tough to find a canoe under $600. If you have any tips on what to look for it would be much appreciated.
