Paddle and Hum

Some years ago, I sought to build a canoe that was small, lightweight, and stable.

Paddle and Hum now produces 9' 6" long, durable solo canoes weighing less than 27 lbs.

One of the benefits of living near a body of water is visiting it frequently. My canoe ‘trips’ are seldom more than an hour or two and often to the same locations which allows such variety.

I can do this because I have a boat that doesn’t break me to load or carry it as it is less than 27 lbs. and under 10’ long.

If you’re interested in seeing how Paddle and Hum can get you back in the water, come by Princess Autos’ grand opening this weekend and ‘pick up’ a canoe.

Come drop by Princess Auto this weekend and say hi to Paddle and Hum as we join the festivities of their new store Grand Opening!

Redeeming reflections on tarnished waters.

The day began here and it ended here with evening light slipping away through the trees. A little world of its own. Tailpipes roar not far from goslings being gently guided toward water. The sun is but an echo now so ears reach further than sight while street lights become flag poles of gold and silver shimmering far into the water. I am so thankful for times like these.

Opportunities are often invisible until you’ve taken them.

This opened up during a small slice of Saturday evening on the Red/Seine.

Come drop by Paddle and Hum at Red River Ex this weekend - another opportunity of fun, food and great Makers.

When it comes to wildlife, the Seine River in Winnipeg does not disappoint. Bobbing just under a perched Bald Eagle, observing the crested head of a Kingfisher, making eye contact with a Muskrat and sneaking up behind Canadas’s national rodent closer than I ever have - this was a paddle to remember.

Trip Log

“Anybody who tells you portaging is fun is either lying or crazy,” states Bill Mason in his film, ‘Waterwalker’.

Then he clarifies, “Now the walk back for the second load…that’s the part I like.”

What if you have it all with you on the first trip?

Celebrate your surroundings.

Record shoppers attended this year’s Third and Bird spring sale - a great weekend. Among those to lift a canoe this weekend was Olympic Olive Oil’s youngest employee who did it with the same smooth ease their shot sample went down for me.

Stin iyía mas! (Cheers!) to great market neighbours!
