When these three event happen in the same week
Then fathers day, birthday and retirement gifts get amalgamated
Wow is all I can say
I was really happy and then getting the thumbs up from my my sweetheart and my solo buddy was frosting on the cake!

Even came with feathered paddle (shown in previous pics)
I even asked advice from MEC as this was my first new paddle purchase ever not including my graphite kayay paddle which will likely also see use in this solo canoe
I hope they didn't steer me wrong but in case my sweetheart also provide me with a spare special paddle

Lastly
Living room test went perfect
Water test in a week or so ,I hope, with planned solo
into previous untraveled northern part of AP to meet some
other AA'ers north-west of Kiosk.
