I am in the final stretch - a couple of days to go. I've decided to bring my tent, and not just my tarp. If it means that my portage is that much slower - then so it goes. I have got to remember that I will not be in Toronto, rushing around, running up stairs, moving from meeting room to meeting room.
I can slow down.
Yesterday I rented the solo canoe. It is a Kevlar, solo canoe, and I will pick it up Sunday morning. I believe it is about 43 pounds - that's darned light.
We're having folks over at the house during the week that I'm away to keep Spring company, which I am very happy about.
Can't wait...
Cheers,
Mungo

43 pounds? Good grief. That sounds pretty heavy.
Yes - something like 43 pounds... I'll find out specifically which model and what weight it will be on Sunday morning.
But Monty should be able to carry it, I've been working hard at getting him strong... :-)

I love solo canoes. light and maneuverable. And when it is windy and your pack is in the front, they aren't so susceptible to the unwanted veering!!!
Good luck out there Mungo.
Have a great time.
