As noted previously, I am taking a canoe trip this summer. 1,200 miles by motorized canoe, give or take a few miles. In this video, I take the viewers on a walk around my canoe and then we quickly visit a few of the places I will see this summer. Like Great Sand Bay, above.
Eagle-eyed viewers will catch the Oppo sticker at the 4:00 mark. Even so, the whole video is worth a watch.
Stay tuned for updates.

When you swing by pictured rocks up in the UP, take lots of pics.

Damn that sounds fun. I’ve been wanting to do something like that for so long.

Just watch out for bears. Apparently, they love kayaks and/or canoes. I’m not sure if they know the difference.

Really cool! What an amazing trip.
I don’t know a thing, but the rubber fuel line running through metal clamps would make me nervous about chafing.
Have fun and be safe. That is gong to be jys incredible. What a way to take a trip!

I dare them to try and bite through the aluminum. If they survive, they deserve the win.

Nice boat. you’ll want a longer tiller unless you plan on sitting at the very back with the stinky loud motor;

Also if you could figure out how to get that front seat lower it would be a lot more comfortable and stable.
Pontoons are great but they are slow - and you don’t want to relay on them because the boat isn’t loaded properly.
Otherwise have fun!
We were out last weekend;

12 MPH on glassy smooth water. The 5 horse is the max for the canoe.

The motor is loud but not smelly. I’ll probably just go with ear plugs. There will be a person in the front for counter-balancing.

Sorry, I know this is sort of an inopportune place to bring this up, but I recently bought a car in Wisconsin, and upon further (professionally certified) inspection noticed that the car had been in a pretty substantial rear end collision. The title is clean, with no reported accidents, but it’s very obviously been crashed. What, if any protections under law do I have here?

Very nice Steve, I need to talk to you about a potential class action against Honda. I am hoping you can give me some direction.
