Well family was out of town today so on the way home from work i was thinking range trip or lake trip. Decided it was too hot and didn't need to try any new hunting loads at temps 40 to 60 degrees warmer then they would be hunted at. So the lake it was!
I bought myself a new solo canoe a few weeks ago and this was the 3rd time I've had it in the water. It is a dream to paddle, responsive, smooth, lightweight, quite a bit different than the tandem i bought 25+ years ago.
It was a beautiful evening, wasn't out long maybe 90 minutes but so relaxing, paddle a while then just drift, watching the trout rising, ducks and ducklings swimming around. People paddleboarding, couple other canoes, a kayak or 2, and a few fishing. Next time I'll take my pole with me but still getting a feel for how the boat handles not as stable as the ole tandem, forgot the ziploc for the phone this time so was a bit nervous. It was a near perfect evening,
