Up a creek...
Submitted by cac on Mon, 2010-04-19 15:42Saw this on a web page listing various "dumbest things" people had managed (no it WASN'T me):
I was once canoeing alone in the middle of a lake when the wind began to blow very hard. I was paddling into the wind as hard as I could toward home when I realized that despite my best efforts I was making negative progress. This realization caused such a burst of anger and frustration that the way I thought best to express my feeling at that moment was to hurl my paddle into the water. My only paddle.

Submitted by cac on Wed, 2009-03-11 12:57An interesting looking book that I've seen some good reviews on... might be worth checking out if you're interested in canoeing or building your own paddles.

Poo Canoe
Submitted by cac on Tue, 2009-07-28 18:14Well, it's really a kayak, but "Poo Kayak" just doesn't flow.
With a skin made from sheep poo paper, these folks are going to attempt to cross the English Channel.
Transparent Canoe

Bikes and Boats
Submitted by cac on Wed, 2007-09-12 13:55We've had boats (of course) before, and even bicycles and electric bicycles, but I don't know that we have combined the two :-)
Wike offers a Canoe and Kayak Bike Trailer... if you are into the smaller paddle craft, this might be really handy.
InstaBOAT
Submitted by cac on Fri, 2007-08-10 12:52This is a commercial vendor of a folding boat... looks to use a rubber type hinge. Might be of interest if you don't want to build your own.
Instaboat is the perfect portable folding boat for outdoors enthusiasts. This foldable boat is lightweight, durable, and can be assembled in 2 minutes. This boat adapts to all recreational vehicles and is easy to carry. Very stable and safe to use, it is unsinkable, even when filled with water.
