I read in a thread talk about GPS.

I have a Garmin 38 GPS that I won as a door prize at some Xmas function
when I lived in Rankin Inlet. I think I won it in the year 2000. It is
too friggin complicated for this ole fellow and although I've tried to
figure it out, it's just taking up space at the moment.

I'll give it away for free if someone wants it.

I'll wait for a week for any interest and if more than one AAer wishes it,
I'll make a draw. Should you win it, you'll have to make arrangements to
get it and/or pay for me to mail it to you.


Bo

I'd like to enter your contest Bo .

Jeff

Ok Jeffery, I have you listed for the draw for the free GPS.


Bo

Bo, you can put this old fart down for it as well, might be able to figure out how it works. thanks for the offer to the board members, very generous indeed.

Hmmmm...

Sounds like there could be a requirement for a match
to determine the winner

Paddles at 30 ' on your marks , get set, go!


Or perhaps he who carries Bo's canoe the most, cooks him the most
food or listens the most attentively to his music


Hey Bo... GPS is not that difficult and since you are considering a larger boat and larger waters you might down the road be advised to get a new style and the book GPS for Dummies

The newer one are rather simple ( Turn on and use for most functions...
The MOB function might be the best and easiest to master )

Glad to hear you are canoeing again..
That trusty old green 14' St Maurice
has seen many through rougher waters that that small boat and motor you
use.. You should of bought the 14' boat and trailer with 9.5 that I sold 2 years ago for $800 .....

BTW:
Great deals on boats c/w motor and trailer in most Outdoors magazines
and great deals come fall or Spring at boat shows
( Ledgend Boat is my recommendation for the boat and a 4 stroke 9.9-F
yamaha outboard is a perfect match to such a 14' craft )
Buy one with a decent trailer and you can still take the kitchen sink
when you go fishing )

Hey Bo could you put my name in on that as well..

I'm figuring a little extra help getting there might help LMAO.

Thanx Mike

I'd be interested in the draw, as well.

Might be too late or not applicable to some AA goers, but a fishing tournament with GPS prize would be neat. Well, in general, are we going to have a fishing competition this year? Markus will have to guesstimate his fish in that case . I'm not the most fruitful trout fisherman but I enjoyed hearing fishing reports. I suppose with the Spring opener over already that this is a bit late to start. Maybe a bass competition.

Change that to a Honda 9.9, and this is the one:

For the Garmin 38, here's a page that might be of some help:

Pencil me in for that too Bo.

Racoon:

Your trailer has been sold.....guy picking it up this weekend...I'll ask for
Licence Plate back once he gets it to where it's going.

4 HP Evinrude motor is up for sale for $550. Won't need it any more. Ad
going in Ottawa Citizen today.

I still have dad's small boat which I'll keep for rowing on small lakes
like Sec. Will invest in car racks for my car as the boat is so light and
I can carry it myself like a canoe if need be.


Bo

No fishing contest, no photo contest, just a draw to see who wins it.

I don't need it, will never use it, so I thought it would be a good gesture
to give it to someone on this AA site who might want it and use it.

Everyone who tells me that want me to put their name in for it will be
in. I'll make the draw sometime next week.


Bo

Sign me up also please.

I am in for the draw!! Thanks Bo

Sign me up!



Chris

you can put me for it too BO, thanks.

He gave us all that wonderful map of his and the GPS will only further the quality of his updates.

That and I already have a GPS.

Hmmmm....

Decisions, Decisions

Perhaps he who catches the largest SPECKle

or

Which one can do the marathon Canoe to Brent and back in the best time

The possible contests are endless... and would make be great spectator sports
( canoe tug of war , water walking with canoe shoes, etc)


BK will have to decide somehow

MOTD
Fisherman's saying I spied in TO yesterday

Thanks Bo...


Sean (of Ajax)

10 names so far for the draw, with 3 votes for Jeffery McMurtrie!!!

Any objections if I just give it to Jeffery for all the intensive work he has done on his map that we are all using???



Bo

No arguments here.

Sounds great. To me as well.

You already know how I feel.


Jeffery!

As long as he uses it to find and then post the gps co-ords of waypoints to "Racoon's Lake"

Rac n

I say pass it off to Jeffrey... anything to help out furthering his map endeavors...


Sean (of Ajax)

For sure to Jeffery!!!!!!!

Give to him, he deserves it.
