Hello, popped over from Cestandrea's Blog.
Jeeez - you really have to go through all THAT to canoe?!!

I just 'discovered' canoeing this summer and, dying to buy our own canoes asap, am glad we won't have to go through that here in the UK (though it probably won't be long...).

Love the photos and text here on your blog, especially the pets (so photogenic) and your visit to the students. What book(s) did you write?

Yah, Rondeau, the run-on sentence as a literary device, consciously employed. Thought I'd try it, though it has been done a time or two before.
Thanks for the invitation. I hear real nice things about Quetico.

Mike. Take the best camera you've got and throw the kayak in the car and GO. We only get one go-round. Too bad puppehs won't fit in 'em. Much as I'd love to, I can't take Chet in my canoe, because his trembling would tip it, little water-weenie that he is.

Man it has been a long time since I laughed that hard.
Beautifully written.

Up here in Gods frozen land you only have to register boats with more than a 10 hp motor.

All you good folks south of the boarder come on up to Canada and we will let you paddle to your hearts delight. Free.

2007-10-03T07:55:00.000-05:00

Man, Julie. Something about your posts latelay are really getting to me. The pets post yesterday really wanted to make me leave work and pet my dog. Todays post makes me want to dust off the kayak and take it out to enjoy the burgeoning fall. You even addressed my fear of using the good camera... Creepy.

Well, glad you are finally registered! All that lawlessness on the water... tsk, tsk. ;c)

Out in a boat! Good for you Zick! I do think the wildlife officers have entirely too much firepower. Imagine carrying a glock to give out tickets for no life jacket....We don't have to register kayaks here but I would if I had to. Stefanie the WLO has already stopped me on the Wacissa. (I passed. Even had a whistle)I'm afraid of those firesticks!

Ahh...Alice's Restaurant. I make it a point to listen to the whole thing 2 or 3 times every Thanksgiving.
Do you own a red VW microbus? I bet a canoe would fit nicely in there.

2007-10-02T22:16:00.000-05:00

We have one of those canoes that just sitting in the backyard collecting spiders. My husband fly fishes now and doesn't use the canoe.
And yes we have to register it here in PA.

2007-10-02T21:06:00.000-05:00

We had a similar experience last year--greeted by a very official officer as we pulled up on shore from a pleasant paddle.
We plead ignorance--it worked.
And it also encourages us to use it more often, now that we've paid for registering it.
Does it seem odd that Ohio allows bald tires on the cars we drive, yet snags you for not having paperwork or numbers on the canoe?

I didn't know about registering canoes and kayaks....

2007-10-02T20:19:00.000-05:00

I didn't know about registering canoes and kayaks. It must be an Ohio thing...pretty rigorous!

Don't you think it's worth it, after all? I love canoeing but not much on kayaking. Too tippy. It's so peaceful on the water and your excellent photographic eye will make you swoon over the best heron shots. I can't wait to see more!

By the way, I thought I was the queen of long, run-on sentences. At least yours made sense - mine don't.

2007-10-02T20:16:00.000-05:00

Holy Moly! I might even be living in that canoe since it was a longer process then getting a mortgage. YIKES!!!

But....oh, oh, can I go paddle around Salt Fork with you sometime. Darn lovely place. I'm glad you take the good camera.

Handmade classics, very nice and they must be a delight to paddle. It would be fun to see pictures of your boat. Enjoy !

But can you fit one in a 76 Firebird?

The only flotation device I've got in my vehicle is a Snoopy air raft.

A canoe would be fun - I've never been in one.

2007-10-02T19:07:00.000-05:00

Mine, named Lois, is a 1977 vintage canoe handmade by Bart Hauthaway of Concord, MA. Inherited it, I did, from a friend. Bill's (pictured) is a handmade prototype canoe, no serial number, brand or nuthin' that he picked up at a lawn and garden show. I'll dig around for pics of my boat and do a post about its provenance. It weighs about 28 lb. and Bill's is even lighter. And then I put about 30 lb. of crap in it before pushing off.

Yeah, you've got to register kayaks, too, I think....

2007-10-02T19:04:00.000-05:00

Yeah, you've got to register kayaks, too, I think. Noo, they're both decked canoes,made of Fiberglas, a little wider in the beam and longer than kayaks, with more space in the bulkhead for crackers and cameras. And yes,'twas eminently worth it to go through the Alice's Restaurant-style maze (and recitation) of red tape, to go out and be at peace, and not worrying about some excitable doughball in a gun belt waving me in to shore. And hey, dude, got a post out of it, and you know how that goes.

2007-10-02T19:03:00.000-05:00

How right you are ! Messing about in boats is just wonderful. Do you find that wildlife is much more tolerant of your presence floating in a boat ? Makes for great birding sometimes, probably great photos too. I paddle a 9 foot long kayak that fits inside my van for transport, it is an old Keowee (40# including lunch) and I love it. What model boats do you have ?

2007-10-02T18:53:00.000-05:00

(shaking my head and sighing loudly) is it any wonder why people choose to disregard such laws?

But how very cool to see just how blue that flying GBH is! Definitely worth the registration hassle, I think.

2007-10-02T18:47:00.000-05:00

Wait, wait- isn't that a kayak? Do you have to register kayaks in Ohio, too? What about inner tubes and rafts? Lord, what a pain being outdoorsy can be!

Looks like it was worth it, though!ht
