[0:01:46 – 0:01:47] Adam: It’s never finished.
[0:01:47 – 0:01:48] Adam: It’s never done.
[0:01:48 – 0:01:48] Erik: It’s not fast, though.
[0:01:49 – 0:01:50] Erik: This ain’t no fast boat show.
[0:01:51 – 0:01:53] Erik: We’re in it for the long haul.
[0:01:53 – 0:01:53] Erik: That’s right.
[0:01:54 – 0:01:55] Adam: Skegs and all.
[0:01:56 – 0:01:59] Adam: All our skegs are pointing in the right direction tonight, Eric.
[0:01:59 – 0:02:02] Adam: I did see 2,000 footers on Monday.
[0:02:03 – 0:02:04] Adam: There was a gale warning.
[0:02:05 – 0:02:05] Adam: From the ground?
[0:02:06 – 0:02:08] Adam: Yeah, right from the loading dock on the co-op.
[0:02:08 – 0:02:09] Adam: Nice.
[0:02:09 – 0:02:23] Adam: I thought maybe the court was going to also buzz by and give me a triple thousand-footer day, but the wind died down, moved off to the east, and the court cut her inside Isle Royale and was not seen from Grand Marais.
[0:02:23 – 0:02:24] Adam: Straight on till morning.
[0:02:24 – 0:02:32] Adam: We got the McCarthy and we got the Barker, and I waved to both of them, and I’m pretty sure they tooted.
[0:02:33 – 0:02:34] Erik: Yeah, distant toots.
[0:02:34 – 0:02:34] Erik: Toot.
[0:02:37 – 0:02:37] Adam: That was pretty nice.
[0:02:38 – 0:02:45] Adam: And the little pond out back of the co-op did freeze on Tuesday after the massive power outage that was caused by the gales.
[0:02:46 – 0:02:46] Erik: Oh, my.
[0:02:46 – 0:02:46] Erik: Yeah.
[0:02:46 – 0:02:48] Erik: Coming in your road, just getting in here.
[0:02:48 – 0:02:49] Erik: It was like thrashed.
[0:02:50 – 0:02:51] Adam: I had to drive over trees to get out.
[0:02:51 – 0:02:56] Adam: Yeah, it’s the first week back to work after 10 weeks of paternity leave.
[0:02:56 – 0:02:57] Adam: That’s a bit of a shock.
[0:02:58 – 0:02:58] Adam: Yeah.
[0:02:58 – 0:03:02] Adam: Everything went fine Monday, but then gales came in.
[0:03:03 – 0:03:04] Adam: Trees are down.
[0:03:05 – 0:03:06] Adam: Power was out for 24 hours.
[0:03:07 – 0:03:28] Adam: plus for you we were out for 25 hours plus here dang at the tumble shed i did power i never lost power and it got down to like in the 20s that night so i just like threw a bunch of food outside on the porch oh don’t open the fridge again yeah because like we got wood heat but the wood stuff’s right kind of near the fridge so yeah suboptimal
[0:03:28 – 0:03:29] Erik: It’s not great.
[0:03:29 – 0:03:29] Erik: No.
[0:03:30 – 0:03:30] Erik: Yeah, wow, crazy.
[0:03:30 – 0:03:31] Erik: It’s pretty close.
[0:03:32 – 0:03:38] Erik: I heard of some folks in the general vicinity who had lost power.
[0:03:38 – 0:03:39] Erik: Kind of a crazy windstorm.
[0:03:39 – 0:03:47] Erik: I literally had to get up in the middle of the night and go downstairs and sleep on the first floor because I didn’t want to blow away like in a cartoon or something.
[0:03:47 – 0:03:48] Erik: The house was just creaking.
[0:03:48 – 0:03:49] Erik: Oh, no.
[0:03:49 – 0:03:51] Erik: Nails pulling out of the studs right now?
[0:03:52 – 0:03:52] Erik: Good God.
[0:03:52 – 0:03:52] Erik: Yeah.
[0:03:53 – 0:03:56] Adam: There’s like, we had a couple other trees down in the yard, but nothing like crazy here.
[0:03:56 – 0:03:58] Adam: There’s like one tree down by the host.
[0:03:58 – 0:03:59] Adam: That’s like real.
[0:03:59 – 0:04:03] Adam: If you look in and I’m every time it gets windy, I’m like, I got to take that thing down.
[0:04:03 – 0:04:04] Adam: It’s going to fall on the truck or something.
[0:04:04 – 0:04:06] Adam: And that one held firm.
[0:04:06 – 0:04:07] Adam: No problem.
[0:04:07 – 0:04:08] Adam: But yeah, the trees all over.
[0:04:09 – 0:04:24] Adam: i got through it like 7 30 and 720 and then like somebody else was going out at 7 30 and that there’s a huge tree down on the main road now it’s the one that took out the power line and i i missed it by like five minutes probably dang like getting out
[0:04:25 – 0:04:33] Erik: I wonder if it’s unseasonable warmth that has kept the trees kind of supple.
[0:04:33 – 0:04:34] Erik: That has helped.
[0:04:34 – 0:04:38] Erik: Because it doesn’t seem like, well, I think it’s a combination, I guess.
[0:04:39 – 0:04:39] Erik: It’s hard to say.
[0:04:40 – 0:04:42] Erik: Some of them seem like they just kind of snapped at the top.
[0:04:42 – 0:04:45] Erik: But I’ve seen some that were just straight up uprootings.
[0:04:46 – 0:04:49] Erik: And it’s maybe because the ground isn’t frozen enough.
[0:04:49 – 0:04:50] Adam: I think that’s part of it.
[0:04:50 – 0:04:52] Adam: The ground’s certainly pretty thawed yet.
[0:04:53 – 0:05:06] Adam: And yeah, though, over by hole one on the disc golf course, there’s just like the top of a dead balsam that landed right next to the basket and just standing there still kind of leaned up against another tree, but it did no damage to the basket or the chain.
[0:05:06 – 0:05:09] Adam: So yeah, I’ll have to get rid of that this weekend.
[0:05:10 – 0:05:18] Erik: Yeah, well, I’m glad we weren’t bucking those winds in the skies back from the rough city.
[0:05:18 – 0:05:22] Adam: I’m pretty sure we saw the Barker when we were flying into Tundra Bay, though.
[0:05:22 – 0:05:22] Adam: Yeah?
[0:05:23 – 0:05:28] Adam: We saw that one off the very tip of the Upper Peninsula up there by, I want to say it’s Copper Harbor or something.
[0:05:28 – 0:05:30] Adam: That’s the city up on the tip.
[0:05:30 – 0:05:32] Erik: The big, big UP peninsula.
[0:05:33 – 0:05:34] Adam: Yeah.
[0:05:34 – 0:05:40] Adam: For Wisconsin and Michigan proper, they both have the thumbs, but what’s that thing coming off the UP called?
[0:05:40 – 0:05:42] Erik: Which was the Keweenaw Peninsula.
[0:05:43 – 0:05:44] Adam: Yeah, I guess it’s the Keweenaw.
[0:05:45 – 0:05:49] Adam: But yeah, we could see just one big boat off of that when we’re coming across the big lake.
[0:05:49 – 0:05:50] Adam: There’s a break in the clouds.
[0:05:50 – 0:05:54] Adam: I’m pretty sure that was the Barker heading upbound to the Twin Ports.
[0:05:54 – 0:05:59] Adam: And then by Monday, then I saw it going downbound on the, hugging the North Shore.
[0:06:00 – 0:06:00] Erik: Wow.
[0:06:00 – 0:06:00] Erik: Yeah.
[0:06:00 – 0:06:01] Adam: Pretty neat.
[0:06:01 – 0:06:01] Erik: Yeah.
[0:06:02 – 0:06:02] Erik: Skyboat.
[0:06:03 – 0:06:07] Erik: You also get to see the sleeping giant from directly above.
[0:06:07 – 0:06:08] Erik: That was cool.
[0:06:08 – 0:06:09] Erik: I always loved that.
[0:06:10 – 0:06:13] Erik: I saw El Capitan flying to California one time.
[0:06:13 – 0:06:15] Erik: It was straight below me.
[0:06:16 – 0:06:16] Adam: Look at that.
[0:06:16 – 0:06:18] Erik: You can clearly tell that that’s what it is.
[0:06:18 – 0:06:19] Adam: Yeah.
[0:06:19 – 0:06:20] Adam: It’s impressive from way up here.
[0:06:20 – 0:06:21] Adam: Yeah.
[0:06:21 – 0:06:21] Adam: Even more so.
[0:06:22 – 0:06:24] Erik: I think we’ve talked about this on numerous occasions.
[0:06:24 – 0:06:25] Erik: Numerous occasions.
[0:06:25 – 0:06:25] Erik: Numer.
[0:06:25 – 0:06:27] Erik: Numer occasion in the past.
[0:06:28 – 0:06:32] Erik: I’m always shocked by the lack of people looking out the window when they’re flying.
[0:06:32 – 0:06:34] Erik: How often are you up this high?
[0:06:34 – 0:06:34] Erik: Yeah.
[0:06:35 – 0:06:37] Erik: I stare out the window the whole time pretty much unless we’re like.
[0:06:37 – 0:06:38] Erik: Take advantage.
[0:06:38 – 0:06:40] Erik: Above the clouds for hours at a time.
[0:06:40 – 0:06:42] Erik: If I can see ground, it’s always interesting to me.
[0:06:43 – 0:06:45] Adam: I appreciate that you let me sit in the window on the way back.
[0:06:46 – 0:06:46] Erik: Oh, yeah.
[0:06:47 – 0:06:48] Adam: It’s always a treat.
[0:06:48 – 0:06:49] Erik: Yeah, it’s always a treat.
[0:06:49 – 0:06:50] Erik: I had it on the way there.
[0:06:50 – 0:06:51] Erik: You had it on the way back.
[0:06:51 – 0:06:54] Adam: Daylight flights both ways, which is pretty rare out of Thunder Bay.
[0:06:54 – 0:06:55] Erik: Yeah.
[0:06:55 – 0:06:59] Erik: On the 747, basically, into Thunder Bay.
[0:06:59 – 0:07:00] Adam: I can’t believe they’re flying the 7-4.
[0:07:01 – 0:07:06] Erik: A bunch of the locals probably were out there on the end of the runway behind the fence taking pictures.
[0:07:06 – 0:07:06] Erik: They’re just waving at us.
[0:07:07 – 0:07:10] Erik: It’s a historic event for the largest plane to ever fly into town.
[0:07:11 – 0:07:13] Erik: It was three seats on either side.
[0:07:13 – 0:07:14] Erik: Was that an A320?
[0:07:14 – 0:07:15] Erik: That was wild.
[0:07:15 – 0:07:16] Erik: It was crazy.
[0:07:16 – 0:07:20] Erik: We flew out on like a four-seater on the way there.
[0:07:20 – 0:07:21] Erik: On Thunder Air.
[0:07:22 – 0:07:23] Erik: Yeah, Thunder Air.
[0:07:24 – 0:07:26] Erik: Literally landed on the roof of the CN Tower.
[0:07:26 – 0:07:27] Erik: Yeah, they just hovered there.
[0:07:28 – 0:07:29] Adam: Dropped a line down.
[0:07:29 – 0:07:30] Adam: We had to like rappel down.
[0:07:30 – 0:07:34] Erik: Jumped into the harness system and we were already adventuring.
[0:07:35 – 0:07:51] Erik: leaning out over the big city yeah leaning out over that big old city yeah good times had by all in toronto it was really good times in toronto i was super impressed yeah yeah leafs one leafs one can’t wait to go back you got to touch the cup
[0:07:52 – 0:07:54] Erik: Yeah, sure did.
[0:07:54 – 0:07:55] Erik: The real one.
[0:07:55 – 0:07:55] Erik: It was the real one.
[0:07:55 – 0:07:56] Erik: Was it not?
[0:07:56 – 0:07:56] Erik: I don’t know.
[0:07:56 – 0:07:57] Erik: We saw both.
[0:07:57 – 0:07:58] Erik: It was the dented up one.
[0:07:58 – 0:07:59] Adam: The old one.
[0:07:59 – 0:08:00] Erik: It seemed way more dented up.
[0:08:01 – 0:08:05] Adam: The cathedral was shut down because it was the Hall of Fame game induction ceremony.
[0:08:05 – 0:08:07] Adam: So the media crew was in there when we got to the Hall of Fame.
[0:08:08 – 0:08:08] Erik: Yeah.
[0:08:08 – 0:08:17] Adam: So they’re like, oh, as an apology for not letting you see the main vault of Lord Stanley and the main cathedral room with the current cup.
[0:08:18 – 0:08:22] Adam: We brought out the old cup, and we just put it down in the corner room with Larry.
[0:08:22 – 0:08:24] Adam: And here’s some gummy bears.
[0:08:24 – 0:08:24] Erik: Oh, yeah.
[0:08:24 – 0:08:27] Erik: Here’s six Haribo gummy bears.
[0:08:27 – 0:08:28] Erik: Our condolences.
[0:08:28 – 0:08:28] Erik: Shuffle along now.
[0:08:29 – 0:08:32] Adam: But we got to see the cool original cup, I believe.
[0:08:32 – 0:08:32] Adam: Seemed like it.
[0:08:33 – 0:08:33] Erik: Yeah.
[0:08:33 – 0:08:35] Adam: Had the typos on it and everything.
[0:08:36 – 0:08:36] Erik: Crazy, yeah.
[0:08:36 – 0:08:44] Erik: I mean, they probably had to spend an extra hour after the inductees were in there just cleaning up after Jeremy Roenick.
[0:08:44 – 0:08:44] Erik: Yeah.
[0:08:44 – 0:09:06] Adam: oh no greasy sweating sweat you see the next night during the habs game he was like dancing around on skates uh the crowd is cheering him on jr yeah no i did not see that i somehow saw those highlights you can’t unsee him wow his moves are um something yeah there’s something all right there’s something all right but uh
[0:09:08 – 0:09:10] Adam: Yeah, we had a really good time.
[0:09:10 – 0:09:20] Adam: I want to give a special shout-out before we get to the main art supplies for this episode, which is episode 272 of Tumble Home, Boundary Waters podcast.
[0:09:21 – 0:09:24] Adam: And Lake Superior is included in the Boundary Waters, frankly.
[0:09:24 – 0:09:28] Adam: But I want to give a shout-out to Collective Arts Brewing.
[0:09:29 – 0:09:30] Adam: You’re looking at me?
[0:09:30 – 0:09:31] Adam: In Toronto.
[0:09:31 – 0:09:32] Adam: You’re the one shouting them out.
[0:09:33 – 0:09:39] Adam: sure i think so is it i just want to make sure it’s brewing not brewery but i believe it’s collective arts brewing
[0:09:39 – 0:09:41] Erik: I mean, I think if the first two words are right, it doesn’t matter.
[0:09:41 – 0:09:42] Adam: It’s collective arts in Toronto.
[0:09:42 – 0:09:43] Adam: Nobody says the brewing part.
[0:09:44 – 0:09:44] Adam: It’s not cool.
[0:09:46 – 0:09:48] Adam: Yeah, we had quite a few of them.
[0:09:48 – 0:09:51] Adam: Cloud 9 was, I think, the best one.
[0:09:51 – 0:09:54] Adam: But they have Canada.
[0:09:54 – 0:09:54] Adam: It’s official.
[0:09:54 – 0:09:55] Adam: It has real IPAs.
[0:09:55 – 0:09:57] Adam: I think it was like Mind in the Clouds, I think.
[0:09:57 – 0:09:58] Adam: Mind in the Clouds.
[0:09:58 – 0:09:59] Adam: I’ll check my pictures.
[0:09:59 – 0:10:00] Adam: I have pictures of a couple.
[0:10:00 – 0:10:02] Adam: The can artwork is great.
[0:10:02 – 0:10:06] Erik: Every picture that you have, I think, has the obligatory space noodle in the background.
[0:10:06 – 0:10:07] Adam: I do, yeah.
[0:10:07 – 0:10:13] Adam: We had to look at the Space Noodle right out the window, and we’re up on like the 50th floor, and you can just open the window.
[0:10:14 – 0:10:14] Adam: Yeah.
[0:10:14 – 0:10:15] Adam: Wide open.
[0:10:15 – 0:10:17] Adam: You could have thrown a Frisbee out of there if you wanted.
[0:10:17 – 0:10:18] Erik: It’s Canada for you.
[0:10:19 – 0:10:26] Erik: Adam is working on a – stay tuned – 2025 calendar, the Space Noodle in all moods.
[0:10:26 – 0:10:30] Adam: Yeah, but they’re all in the month of November, though.
[0:10:30 – 0:10:31] Erik: Well, it doesn’t matter.
[0:10:31 – 0:10:32] Adam: You can –
[0:10:33 – 0:10:39] Adam: The Deceptive Creature Nectarian IPA, which had that crazy dragon on it.
[0:10:40 – 0:10:43] Erik: Yeah, it was like a gator biting through a chain.
[0:10:43 – 0:10:45] Adam: Chain biting gator, yeah.
[0:10:45 – 0:10:47] Erik: Some of the best can artwork I think I’ve ever seen.
[0:10:47 – 0:10:54] Adam: For sure, but even each type of can had slight variations to the can artwork too, which was pretty neat.
[0:10:54 – 0:11:01] Erik: Yeah, and they all shouted out the artists, and then I subsequently went on to Instagram and followed all of the artists.
[0:11:01 – 0:11:02] Adam: It’s collective arts.
[0:11:03 – 0:11:03] Adam: Life in the clouds.
[0:11:03 – 0:11:09] Adam: Life in the clouds was the one that I think was, I think we voted that one the best one.
[0:11:10 – 0:11:13] Erik: I mean, we don’t have, like, a lot of experience in Canada.
[0:11:13 – 0:11:14] Erik: We’ve got a little bit.
[0:11:14 – 0:11:14] Erik: Just a little.
[0:11:14 – 0:11:20] Erik: But I feel like it was our first full, like, real beer experience in Canada.
[0:11:20 – 0:11:25] Erik: Because, you know, it seems like it’s usually, like, it’s going to be an IPA.
[0:11:25 – 0:11:27] Erik: And you get it, and it’s, like, 4.2%.
[0:11:27 – 0:11:31] Adam: I mean, the Alexander Keiths has been, like, an ongoing joke on the show for years.
[0:11:32 – 0:11:36] Adam: We did see some at the— Actually, we were worried they didn’t have them anymore, but— No, they’re still there.
[0:11:36 – 0:11:38] Adam: Yeah, the LCBO still had them.
[0:11:38 – 0:11:40] Erik: Yeah, the LCBO right on top of the Longos.
[0:11:40 – 0:11:42] Adam: Yeah, special shout out to Longos.
[0:11:42 – 0:11:44] Erik: Across from the murder towers.
[0:11:44 – 0:11:49] Adam: Greatest grocery store in the world, Longos downtown.
[0:11:49 – 0:11:50] Adam: Yeah, pretty good stuff.
[0:11:50 – 0:11:53] Erik: I think that’s just what grocery stores in cities are like.
[0:11:53 – 0:11:53] Erik: Yeah, they are.
[0:11:53 – 0:11:58] Erik: It’s all hot salad bars and sushi stations and pizza.
[0:11:58 – 0:12:00] Erik: Thanksgiving dinner chips.
[0:12:00 – 0:12:01] Erik: Yeah.
[0:12:01 – 0:12:02] Erik: Oh, man, those chicken dinner leys.
[0:12:04 – 0:12:06] Adam: Yeah, those are the real stuff.
[0:12:06 – 0:12:07] Erik: Heavy on the sage.
[0:12:08 – 0:12:08] Adam: Yeah.
[0:12:10 – 0:12:11] Adam: We decided not to go up the noodle.
[0:12:12 – 0:12:17] Adam: We read at one point that if you go to the top on a windy day, you can feel it moving around, and it’s like, no thanks.
[0:12:18 – 0:12:18] Adam: No.
[0:12:18 – 0:12:23] Adam: I like being in an airplane, and that’s moving around for sure, but it’s a different animal when you’re up there.
[0:12:23 – 0:12:24] Adam: Plus, we had a really good look at it where we were.
[0:12:25 – 0:12:28] Adam: No need to go up, but the elevators are cruising that thing.
[0:12:28 – 0:12:37] Erik: Yeah, oh yeah, we basically spent most of the time just both standing next to the open window watching the Space Noodle change colors.
[0:12:37 – 0:12:40] Adam: And watching the Dash 8s fly in and out of Billy.
[0:12:40 – 0:12:48] Erik: Yeah, Billy Bishop Airfield was definitely a highlight just to watch the same kind of plane essentially land and take off.
[0:12:49 – 0:12:49] Adam: All day.
[0:12:49 – 0:12:51] Adam: See who can stop them the fastest.
[0:12:51 – 0:12:58] Erik: The world’s shortest ferry crossing a water gap about four times as long as the ferry itself.
[0:12:58 – 0:13:03] Adam: It could have just had a canoe or two parked there for people to just paddle across over to Billy.
[0:13:03 – 0:13:10] Erik: It seems like it could be one of those scenarios where, you know, you see like the jungle ferry crossing where it’s just like the small child pulling it on with a rope.
[0:13:11 – 0:13:11] Adam: Yeah.
[0:13:11 – 0:13:12] Adam: There’s no current there.
[0:13:12 – 0:13:16] Erik: No, but I’m sure that they need to make it so that obviously that’s why there’s not a bridge there.
[0:13:16 – 0:13:20] Erik: So you can get the pirate pontoon taxis through there.
[0:13:20 – 0:13:20] Adam: Nice.
[0:13:21 – 0:13:22] Adam: Ahoy, matey.
[0:13:22 – 0:13:25] Erik: And the little stubby chugger that goes around for the little tour and spins around.
[0:13:25 – 0:13:27] Erik: Oh, man.
[0:13:28 – 0:13:29] Erik: Yeah, good times had by all.
[0:13:29 – 0:13:30] Erik: Good memories.
[0:13:30 – 0:13:34] Adam: I had more steps in one weekend than I had for the last, like, two months.
[0:13:34 – 0:13:35] Erik: Oh, yeah.
[0:13:35 – 0:13:38] Erik: That’s city vacation living there.
[0:13:38 – 0:13:39] Erik: He’s just walking around.
[0:13:40 – 0:13:42] Adam: Heck yeah.
[0:13:43 – 0:13:46] Adam: Anyways, yeah, we had a really good time in Toronto.
[0:13:46 – 0:13:48] Adam: I want to go back sometime for sure.
[0:13:50 – 0:13:53] Adam: We do have a big box of art supplies for tonight’s boat show.
[0:13:54 – 0:13:58] Adam: I believe this was delivered by sailboat directly to the co-op in August.
[0:13:58 – 0:13:59] Adam: Via boat?
[0:13:59 – 0:14:01] Adam: Via sailboat, I believe.
[0:14:01 – 0:14:02] Adam: Are you being real?
[0:14:02 – 0:14:04] Adam: Yeah, it’s labeled the Caribbean box.
[0:14:05 – 0:14:29] Adam: from the caribbean it says tings from the caribbean oh wow this is from nick and amy and uh we’re friends on the instagram picture app and they’re like they uh they operate a sailboat in the caribbean is it caribbean or caribbean they’re down there in the warm waters uh and not the they’re down in the warm waters and they have a sailboat i’m guaranteed that much so they sail up to grand marais
[0:14:30 – 0:14:33] Adam: I’m going to say, yeah, they did, but there’s a good chance they actually didn’t.
[0:14:33 – 0:14:35] Adam: But shout out to Nick and Amy.
[0:14:35 – 0:14:38] Adam: They stopped by the club two days in a row, actually, I believe.
[0:14:38 – 0:14:42] Adam: They were hanging out in Grand Marais and doing a trip.
[0:14:42 – 0:14:47] Adam: So it’s a pretty good-sized box with cosmic duct tape, which I’ve already pre-opened.
[0:14:47 – 0:14:50] Erik: Yeah, you kind of did jump the gun on that a little bit.
[0:14:50 – 0:14:51] Adam: I was getting too excited.
[0:14:53 – 0:14:55] Adam: We got ourselves a postcard here.
[0:14:56 – 0:14:58] Erik: Greetings from Heavenly.
[0:14:58 – 0:14:59] Adam: Heavenly.
[0:14:59 – 0:15:00] Adam: Is that the name of the boat?
[0:15:01 – 0:15:02] Adam: See, it’s a sailboat.
[0:15:02 – 0:15:05] Adam: It’s literally opened up and there’s a postcard with a sailboat.
[0:15:05 – 0:15:05] Erik: Yeah.
[0:15:06 – 0:15:07] Adam: Is it a catamaran?
[0:15:07 – 0:15:09] Erik: Well, maybe the postcard will explain.
[0:15:09 – 0:15:09] Erik: Explain.
[0:15:09 – 0:15:36] Adam: fellas ahoy ahoy from the virgin islands enjoy some caribbean made brews from our favorite island brewery thanks for keeping us in touch with b-dub vibes while we float around uh when we float around big blue and plan our next adventure cheers to extravagant meals and salads in the park huzzah huzzah nick and amy there we go nice from heavenly there we go
[0:15:37 – 0:15:38] Erik: Yeah, it’s not a meme group.
[0:15:38 – 0:15:40] Erik: It’s more of a vibes thing.
[0:15:40 – 0:15:40] Adam: It is.
[0:15:41 – 0:15:42] Adam: See, they get it.
[0:15:43 – 0:15:44] Adam: All right.
[0:15:44 – 0:15:50] Adam: We got a big one here from St. John’s Brewers in the Virgin Islands.
[0:15:52 – 0:15:54] Adam: It’s a juicy booty, hazy IPA.
[0:15:55 – 0:15:55] Erik: Oh, wow.
[0:15:55 – 0:15:57] Erik: Didn’t we have a wet monkey or something?
[0:15:57 – 0:15:59] Adam: No, there was one in Toronto.
[0:15:59 – 0:16:01] Adam: It was called the Flying Monkey Juicy Ass IPA.
[0:16:02 – 0:16:03] Adam: Oh, Juicy Ass.
[0:16:03 – 0:16:05] Erik: Wow, this is close enough, I guess.
[0:16:05 – 0:16:08] Adam: Juicy Booty from Leatherback Brewing Company.
[0:16:10 – 0:16:15] Adam: Limited release Al-Hawi Hazy India Pale Ale.
[0:16:15 – 0:16:18] Adam: This has got to be some of the finest can artwork I’ve seen in some time.
[0:16:19 – 0:16:20] Erik: Since last weekend.
[0:16:20 – 0:16:20] Adam: Since last week.
[0:16:20 – 0:16:21] Adam: It’s just as good.
[0:16:23 – 0:16:24] Adam: Caribbean Crafted.
[0:16:24 – 0:16:26] Adam: Another one from Leatherback Brewing Company.
[0:16:26 – 0:16:28] Adam: Beach Life Blond Ale.
[0:16:28 – 0:16:29] Adam: There you go.
[0:16:29 – 0:16:30] Adam: There’s your light blonde ale.

[0:16:57 – 0:16:57] Adam: This is great.
[0:16:57 – 0:17:00] Adam: We also have a hot sauce in here from the pirate gang.
[0:17:01 – 0:17:01] Erik: Oh, nice.
[0:17:01 – 0:17:03] Adam: Not from your pirate ship in Toronto.
[0:17:03 – 0:17:05] Adam: This is from a different pirate gang.
[0:17:05 – 0:17:07] Adam: This is ghost ship hot sauce.
[0:17:07 – 0:17:08] Erik: Yeah, you might need to hang on to that.
[0:17:08 – 0:17:09] Adam: So this is lining up.
[0:17:09 – 0:17:13] Adam: And the list on the whiteboard has been in no way manipulated, friends.
[0:17:13 – 0:17:13] Adam: No.
[0:17:14 – 0:17:18] Adam: This is just the order that it shook out in, and we didn’t know it was in this box.
[0:17:19 – 0:17:23] Adam: But this is the boat show, and we got a lot of boat action coming out of this box.
[0:17:23 – 0:17:23] Adam: There’s more.
[0:17:24 – 0:17:24] Adam: There’s more.
[0:17:24 – 0:17:25] Adam: But wait, there’s more.
[0:17:25 – 0:17:26] Adam: There’s more.
[0:17:26 – 0:17:27] Adam: We got a couple stickers.
[0:17:27 – 0:17:29] Adam: We got a sticker from Leatherback Brewing.
[0:17:29 – 0:17:30] Erik: Oh, my.
[0:17:30 – 0:17:31] Adam: And we have a…
[0:17:32 – 0:17:33] Adam: They’ve included a picture.
[0:17:33 – 0:17:34] Adam: Look at this handsome couple.
[0:17:35 – 0:17:35] Adam: Oh, wow.
[0:17:35 – 0:17:37] Adam: A mini little Polaroid.
[0:17:38 – 0:17:39] Erik: With a canoe in the background.
[0:17:39 – 0:17:41] Erik: Of Nick and Amy with a canoe.
[0:17:41 – 0:17:42] Erik: It’s all coming up Milhouse.
[0:17:43 – 0:17:44] Erik: This is incredible.
[0:17:45 – 0:17:46] Adam: Very nice.
[0:17:47 – 0:17:48] Adam: It’s really nice.
[0:17:48 – 0:17:49] Adam: I wish more people would include.
[0:17:49 – 0:17:54] Adam: You’re going to go right up on the big map.
[0:17:54 – 0:17:56] Adam: Thank you for the art supplies, Nick and Amy.
[0:17:57 – 0:18:00] Adam: That’s a good looking couple from the Virgin Islands.
[0:18:01 – 0:18:03] Adam: We got some shirts with the boat on them.
[0:18:04 – 0:18:05] Adam: Wow.
[0:18:05 – 0:18:06] Adam: Here’s your shirt.
[0:18:06 – 0:18:06] Adam: Dang.
[0:18:06 – 0:18:09] Adam: We get two shirts with Heavenly on it.
[0:18:09 – 0:18:10] Adam: That’s got to be their boat.
[0:18:11 – 0:18:11] Adam: It has to be.
[0:18:11 – 0:18:15] Adam: I feel like they’re the shirt you want to fish for tarpon in or something.
[0:18:15 – 0:18:17] Erik: You need to be wearing well on the boat.
[0:18:18 – 0:18:20] Adam: Yeah, this is for boats only shirts.
[0:18:20 – 0:18:21] Adam: Yeah, this is good stuff.
[0:18:21 – 0:18:23] Adam: They’ll keep you from getting sunburned and keep you cool.
[0:18:23 – 0:18:48] Adam: oh this is uh yeah sunscreen shirt yeah damn very nice geez this is a very generous box very generous thank you very much what are you gonna start with eric i don’t know the juicy booty probably we’re gonna incorporate this ghost ship hot sauce into the uh
[0:18:50 – 0:18:50] Adam: What have you.
[0:18:51 – 0:18:52] Adam: The Pronto Pup Feast.
[0:18:52 – 0:18:53] Erik: Oh, yeah.
[0:18:53 – 0:18:58] Adam: All right, I’m going for the Al-Hahwee Hazy.
[0:19:00 – 0:19:06] Adam: And it did get pretty cold a couple nights ago out here, but it’s been perfect temperatures, actually.
[0:19:06 – 0:19:09] Adam: The mini fridge probably hasn’t run in a couple weeks.
[0:19:12 – 0:19:12] Adam: And these are perfect.
[0:19:13 – 0:19:13] Erik: Yeah?
[0:19:15 – 0:19:17] Erik: Caribbean crafted.
[0:19:17 – 0:19:18] Erik: Caribbean.
[0:19:18 – 0:19:19] Adam: Caribbean.
[0:19:22 – 0:19:22] Erik: Wow.
[0:19:24 – 0:19:24] Erik: What do you know?
[0:19:25 – 0:19:26] Erik: That’s a lot of sponsorships.
[0:19:26 – 0:19:28] Erik: That’s a lot of stuff.
[0:19:28 – 0:19:43] Adam: So in the recent memory, we’ve had show sponsors delivered by a hiker on the SHT, hiked in sponsors, and then was then picked up by a shuttle and delivered them after their trip.
[0:19:44 – 0:19:47] Adam: So hiked in beers and now sailboated in beers.
[0:19:48 – 0:19:56] Erik: Yeah, I’m sure if I thought enough about it, I could figure out what the logistics of that are and why they needed to hike with beers.
[0:19:57 – 0:20:00] Adam: I think it’s just for the bragging rights.
[0:20:00 – 0:20:05] Adam: The first ever show Spencer has hiked most of the SHT before being delivered.
[0:20:05 – 0:20:06] Adam: I guess.
[0:20:06 – 0:20:08] Adam: It’s like the Akavit.
[0:20:08 – 0:20:11] Erik: Yeah, you could tell this is hiked over the sawtooths.
[0:20:12 – 0:20:14] Adam: You could tell all the elevation change.
[0:20:14 – 0:20:16] Erik: That’s what makes it taste so good.
[0:20:16 – 0:20:16] Erik: That’s right.
[0:20:17 – 0:20:21] Adam: Yeah, so this probably was sailed through the Welland Locks.
[0:20:22 – 0:20:22] Adam: Yeah, who knows?
[0:20:23 – 0:20:26] Adam: Went right past the Niagara Falls on its way up here.
[0:20:26 – 0:20:26] Adam: Yeah.
[0:20:27 – 0:20:33] Adam: How many do you think it would actually take to sail from the Caribbean up all the way to Grammarace?
[0:20:34 – 0:20:35] Erik: I don’t know.
[0:20:35 – 0:20:36] Adam: On the Heavenly.
[0:20:36 – 0:20:36] Erik: Months?
[0:20:38 – 0:20:39] Adam: At least months, right?
[0:20:39 – 0:20:42] Erik: No, I mean, what’s more than at least months?
[0:20:42 – 0:20:42] Erik: Years?
[0:20:43 – 0:20:45] Erik: I don’t think years is an option.
[0:20:45 – 0:20:49] Adam: If you just sailed nonstop and didn’t take any breaks, could you do it in under a month?
[0:20:50 – 0:20:51] Erik: I don’t think so.
[0:20:52 – 0:20:54] Erik: Again, that’s just my gut feeling.
[0:20:55 – 0:20:58] Erik: I’d say two months would be like a pretty breakneck speed.
[0:20:59 – 0:21:01] Adam: We’re going to give them like the Canoon with the Cree timeline.
[0:21:01 – 0:21:02] Adam: They get 14 weeks.
[0:21:02 – 0:21:02] Adam: Yeah.
[0:21:05 – 0:21:09] Adam: 14 weeks, and you get to stop in Winnipeg for two weeks to ease your ailments.
[0:21:10 – 0:21:13] Adam: What would be the Winnipeg equivalent on that trip?
[0:21:13 – 0:21:15] Adam: Like you get to stop in Norfolk?
[0:21:15 – 0:21:17] Erik: Yeah, just crane it up onto a barge.
[0:21:19 – 0:21:20] Erik: I don’t know.
[0:21:20 – 0:21:21] Adam: You take the Erie Canal?
[0:21:21 – 0:21:22] Adam: Is that thing still open?
[0:21:22 – 0:21:23] Adam: I don’t know.
[0:21:23 – 0:21:25] Adam: Cheat it with the Erie Passage.
[0:21:26 – 0:21:30] Erik: A sailboat’s probably just as fast as those 1,000-footers, though.
[0:21:31 – 0:21:32] Adam: Yeah, maybe faster.
[0:21:32 – 0:21:33] Adam: Maybe faster.
[0:21:33 – 0:21:34] Adam: How fast does the Heavenly go?
[0:21:34 – 0:21:35] Adam: Nick and Amy, are you listening?
[0:21:35 – 0:21:40] Erik: And follow up, tumblewomcast at gmail.com, which I did, in fact, check.
[0:21:40 – 0:21:43] Erik: And we have a couple of emails.
[0:21:43 – 0:21:44] Erik: We’ll probably start with those tonight.
[0:21:44 – 0:21:45] Adam: I think so, yeah.
[0:21:45 – 0:21:48] Adam: We don’t get too many emails, so it’s pretty special.
[0:21:48 – 0:21:54] Adam: And then we have a lot of responses still to the boat show question of the week on the subreddit.
[0:21:55 – 0:22:02] Adam: So, yeah, we have a lot of boat stories to regale you with tonight, which I’m pretty excited for.
[0:22:03 – 0:22:04] Erik: Well, we’ll start with this one here.
[0:22:05 – 0:22:06] Adam: Oh, yeah.
[0:22:07 – 0:22:08] Erik: Hey, Eric and Adam.
[0:22:08 – 0:22:10] Erik: I love your podcasts.
[0:22:10 – 0:22:19] Erik: Got me very excited, wondering if we’d have a chance of working together by sponsoring one slash more of your upcoming pieces of content.
[0:22:19 – 0:22:20] Erik: I want to sponsor your contents.
[0:22:21 – 0:22:25] Erik: Briefly, on Magic Mine, we’ve designed the world’s first productivity drink.
[0:22:26 – 0:22:31] Erik: A morning ritual built for the creative work of the 21st century.
[0:22:32 – 0:22:43] Erik: Our science-backed blend of matcha, nootropics, and adaptogens work together to get you faster into quote-unquote flow state.
[0:22:44 – 0:22:46] Erik: That’s the key to this whole show, Eric.
[0:22:46 – 0:22:49] Erik: No anxiety, no jitters, just focus and productivity.
[0:22:50 – 0:22:52] Adam: I feel like they’re talking directly about us.
[0:22:53 – 0:22:54] Adam: This is a handcrafted email.
[0:22:55 – 0:22:56] Erik: Yeah, directly.
[0:22:56 – 0:22:57] Erik: I mean, I can tell.
[0:22:57 – 0:22:58] Erik: This seems very personalized.
[0:22:58 – 0:23:02] Erik: We’ve got just a few partnership spots left for this campaign.
[0:23:02 – 0:23:06] Erik: So, if possible, would appreciate a response within the next 48 hours.
[0:23:06 – 0:23:07] Erik: Sent three days ago.
[0:23:07 – 0:23:09] Adam: Dang, we just missed out.
[0:23:09 – 0:23:12] Adam: If we had just not gone up that space noodle.
[0:23:12 – 0:23:19] Erik: I also love how they kind of trail off in aggressiveness here.
[0:23:19 – 0:23:20] Erik: Would love to give you more details.
[0:23:20 – 0:23:21] Erik: Do I have the right email?
[0:23:23 – 0:23:24] Erik: Or can I be redirected?
[0:23:25 – 0:23:29] Adam: We’ll have Trevor redirect you to the appropriate email.
[0:23:29 – 0:23:31] Erik: Yeah, well, I mean, we always talk about…
[0:23:31 – 0:23:32] Erik: This is a screening email.
[0:23:32 – 0:23:33] Erik: Yeah, we’re an independent podcast.
[0:23:34 – 0:23:37] Erik: I’m batting away sponsorships of this caliber on a daily basis.
[0:23:37 – 0:23:38] Adam: Please stop.
[0:23:38 – 0:23:41] Adam: But please send some of this flow state my way, actually.
[0:23:41 – 0:23:42] Adam: Yeah, I could use…
[0:23:42 – 0:23:43] Adam: I want to try your magic.
[0:23:43 – 0:23:45] Erik: I could use one nootropic, please.
[0:23:45 – 0:23:46] Adam: Yeah, but…

[0:24:14 – 0:24:15] Adam: Okay.
[0:24:16 – 0:24:18] Adam: This is a pretty special looking email.
[0:24:18 – 0:24:20] Erik: Yeah, this one’s very official looking.
[0:24:20 – 0:24:21] Adam: Yeah.
[0:24:21 – 0:24:23] Adam: This is what I think I believe is real.
[0:24:24 – 0:24:25] Adam: Yeah, did you send this?
[0:24:25 – 0:24:28] Adam: I don’t think so, but I am, as I said earlier, I am back at work now.
[0:24:29 – 0:24:31] Erik: And you, I believe, probably have access to this email.
[0:24:32 – 0:24:33] Adam: I actually, this is my email.
[0:24:34 – 0:24:35] Erik: I was going to say, is this your email?
[0:24:36 – 0:24:41] Adam: I had, yeah, but it’s shared with me and one other guy.
[0:24:41 – 0:24:44] Erik: Well, maybe, hopefully it’s from the other guy.
[0:24:44 – 0:24:46] Adam: Otherwise, we’ll have some real questions to answer here.
[0:24:48 – 0:24:56] Adam: My partner in crime over there who is holding on the fort for me for the entirety of my paternity leave had access to this email.
[0:24:57 – 0:24:58] Adam: Is it from dear friend of the show, Adrian?
[0:24:58 – 0:24:59] Erik: It looks like it is.
[0:24:59 – 0:25:02] Erik: It’s from Deli at Co-op County.
[0:25:03 – 0:25:03] Erik: No, wait.
[0:25:03 – 0:25:05] Erik: I totally screwed that up.
[0:25:05 – 0:25:06] Erik: Deli at Co-op County.
[0:25:06 – 0:25:07] Erik: You’re not the first one.
[0:25:07 – 0:25:08] Adam: It’s a hard email address.
[0:25:10 – 0:25:11] Erik: May 15th, 2017.
[0:25:12 – 0:25:13] Erik: It’s from the Deli email.
[0:25:13 – 0:25:13] Erik: It is.
[0:25:14 – 0:25:15] Erik: Official business.
[0:25:15 – 0:25:19] Erik: Well, it did say it was sent at 547, so… After hours.
[0:25:19 – 0:25:20] Erik: Hopefully, yeah.
[0:25:20 – 0:25:21] Erik: Maybe not on the clock.
[0:25:21 – 0:25:22] Adam: I don’t know.
[0:25:22 – 0:25:23] Adam: Does it matter really?
[0:25:24 – 0:25:24] Erik: Yeah, not really.
[0:25:25 – 0:25:26] Erik: May 17th, 2017.
[0:25:28 – 0:25:32] Erik: Hey, Hammer, if you happen to hear of anyone selling a canoe up at Sawbill, let me know.
[0:25:33 – 0:25:35] Erik: Nine days later, my phone rings.
[0:25:36 – 0:25:38] Erik: Hey, Hess, I’ve got a lead on a canoe.
[0:25:39 – 0:25:40] Erik: An old couple is heading home.
[0:25:40 – 0:25:46] Erik: They think this is their last trip into the B-Dub, and they’re looking to sell it before they drive home.
[0:25:46 – 0:25:47] Erik: How much, I ask?
[0:25:48 – 0:25:49] Erik: 60 bucks.
[0:25:49 – 0:25:49] Erik: What?
[0:25:50 – 0:25:52] Adam: And that includes a couple of paddles.
[0:25:52 – 0:25:53] Adam: Oh, that’s right.
[0:25:53 – 0:25:55] Adam: Those paddles are worth 60 bucks each.
[0:25:55 – 0:26:00] Adam: How would you not immediately say sold, which is the next line of the email?
[0:26:00 – 0:26:01] Erik: Sold.
[0:26:01 – 0:26:01] Adam: Sold.
[0:26:01 – 0:26:02] Adam: Okay.
[0:26:03 – 0:26:09] Adam: I’ve heard this story a handful of times, and it still is alarming every time I hear it, how cheap they got that canoe for.
[0:26:09 – 0:26:09] Adam: It is crazy.
[0:26:10 – 0:26:10] Adam: Wow.
[0:26:10 – 0:26:16] Erik: I think we have discussed this in the past, too, but it is great to get the story directly from the horse’s mouth.
[0:26:17 – 0:26:18] Adam: Yeah, in the written form.
[0:26:18 – 0:26:18] Erik: Yeah.
[0:26:39 – 0:26:45] Erik: Across the side, I see the faded letters from the duct tape that read, Lauren Acton.
[0:26:46 – 0:26:48] Erik: Only thing is they’re upside down.
[0:26:49 – 0:26:51] Erik: Who the hell’s Lauren Acton, you may ask?
[0:26:52 – 0:27:02] Erik: Turns out he was a NASA payload specialist known for his involvement in the 1985 Space Lab 2 mission, which used the infamous Challenger shuttle.
[0:27:03 – 0:27:04] Erik: Infamous?
[0:27:04 – 0:27:05] Erik: What happened?
[0:27:05 – 0:27:07] Erik: I’ll have to look that one up tonight.
[0:27:07 – 0:27:09] Erik: He spent seven days in space.
[0:27:10 – 0:27:19] Erik: His mission also included Sally Ride and a marketing stunt for Coca-Cola and Pepsi involving trying to drink it from carbonated cans.
[0:27:20 – 0:27:21] Erik: Another first for NASA.
[0:27:22 – 0:27:24] Erik: Chalk that one off as a win for NASA.
[0:27:24 – 0:27:24] Erik: It was.
[0:27:25 – 0:27:32] Erik: In his later years, he became a professor for the University of Montana and tried unsuccessfully to run for state Congress.
[0:27:32 – 0:27:41] Erik: He spent every summer driving to the Bodgewaters to take his annual trip in that canoe with his own damn name taped to the side upside down.
[0:27:41 – 0:27:51] Erik: He had done this for a parade back in Montana during his campaign, where he, of course, portaged the canoe with the letters reading correctly.
[0:27:52 – 0:27:57] Erik: I brought this boat home, amazed at the deal, potential, and story I had acquired.
[0:27:58 – 0:28:10] Erik: I sanded it down, removed his name, put new white gel coat on it, refinished the cherry wood gunnels, and crudely added those mustard-colored yellow strips to the bow and stern to help cover up the old cracks and chips.
[0:28:10 – 0:28:13] Erik: I cut some new vinyl letters for it.
[0:28:14 – 0:28:16] Erik: Space Lab 2, dubbed the boat.
[0:28:17 – 0:28:20] Erik: The letters were even in blue NASA-style font.
[0:28:21 – 0:28:22] Erik: I have seen this.
[0:28:23 – 0:28:23] Erik: It’s amazing.
[0:28:24 – 0:28:25] Erik: Especially with the story that goes with it.
[0:28:26 – 0:28:27] Adam: Yeah, the font’s perfect.
[0:28:27 – 0:28:27] Erik: It is.
[0:28:28 – 0:28:30] Erik: It’s always been a sexy font.
[0:28:30 – 0:28:31] Erik: NASA font.
[0:28:31 – 0:28:32] Erik: Gotta give NASA credit for that.
[0:28:33 – 0:28:34] Erik: Yeah, they got a good one.
[0:28:34 – 0:28:36] Erik: I’ve since taken that old boat all over the park.
[0:28:36 – 0:28:39] Erik: It’s been a great companion, never letting me down too much.
[0:28:39 – 0:28:43] Erik: Even that one time when the yoke snapped in the middle of the Tuscarora portage.
[0:28:43 – 0:28:44] Erik: Oh, no.
[0:28:44 – 0:28:53] Erik: I like to think what old Loren must have thought when he was paddling through the vast network of water in Boreal Forest.
[0:28:54 – 0:29:04] Erik: A man who had been in space, seen the truly immense scale of the solar system, and could probably calculate exactly how long it would take him to do the next portage just by reading the map.
[0:29:05 – 0:29:08] Erik: knowing how many kilos he was about to carry and what the weather was doing.
[0:29:09 – 0:29:10] Erik: I like to think… What’s the payload?
[0:29:11 – 0:29:12] Erik: All about the payload.
[0:29:13 – 0:29:14] Adam: He’s a payload specialist.
[0:29:15 – 0:29:16] Erik: Yeah, my God, it was his job.
[0:29:17 – 0:29:29] Erik: I like to think he was at inner peace while he was out there, peace that he perhaps felt when he was staring back at that beautiful blue ball we call home from the window of the Challenger, or in August Day back in 1985.
[0:29:29 – 0:29:30] Erik: Space IAB.
[0:29:33 – 0:30:01] Adam: adrian thank you thank you adrian for the story um that is a true story and that is a beautiful boat and i’ve seen it with my own eyes i don’t think i’ve ever ridden in it pretty sure i’ve never been in that boat but man it’s a beaut and uh yeah space lab was the precursor to the iss yeah way back in the day will they scuttle that thing out into the like they’re gonna soon no it’s still up there space lab
[0:30:01 – 0:30:03] Adam: Oh, I think that one’s gone.
[0:30:03 – 0:30:07] Erik: I was going to say, didn’t they crash that one into the Bering Sea or something, didn’t they?
[0:30:07 – 0:30:08] Erik: The Bering’s.
[0:30:09 – 0:30:11] Adam: What’s going to come next?
[0:30:12 – 0:30:13] Erik: After the ISS.
[0:30:14 – 0:30:14] Erik: I don’t know.
[0:30:14 – 0:30:15] Erik: We won’t be in charge of it.
[0:30:17 – 0:30:18] Adam: Ask the Chinese.
[0:30:20 – 0:30:26] Adam: Next up on the boat show, dear friend of the show, David Smith.
[0:30:26 – 0:30:27] Adam: I don’t know if he’s a dear friend.
[0:30:27 – 0:30:28] Adam: He is now.
[0:30:28 – 0:30:29] Adam: Yep.
[0:30:29 – 0:30:30] Adam: There’s a picture.
[0:30:30 – 0:30:32] Adam: Don’t scroll to the picture right away.
[0:30:32 – 0:30:33] Erik: It’s hard to get into the good stuff.
[0:30:33 – 0:30:37] Adam: It’s about the articles, not the pictures.
[0:30:38 – 0:30:42] Adam: This was sent November 7th, six days ago.
[0:30:42 – 0:30:44] Adam: Thank you for the email, David.
[0:30:44 – 0:30:50] Adam: We have a Winona Spirit II in Kevlar with ash gunwales and an aqua-colored gel coat.
[0:30:51 – 0:30:58] Adam: Initially, it felt a little irrational to spend the money for a Kevlar canoe, only to add several pounds of gel coat and a couple more pounds of wood.
[0:30:59 – 0:31:04] Adam: But that combination of aqua and ash was stunning, and we were smitten at first sight.
[0:31:05 – 0:31:09] Adam: Emotion went out over reason, so we bought the boat and have not regretted it.
[0:31:10 – 0:31:16] Adam: All canoes are beautiful in their own way, but for us, there’s a little extra spark of joy every time we lay eyes on this one.
[0:31:16 – 0:31:28] Adam: That little spark of joy seems to be enough to offset the extra weight on portages, because every time we set it in the water and load it up, my son and I smile, and one of us will say, boy, that’s a good-looking boat.
[0:31:31 – 0:31:54] Adam: after all part of the reason we got into the wilderness is for the aesthetic of it aside from the beauty of the wood trim we found it to be practical remaining pleasant to the touch even on the hottest sunny days or the coldest of mornings and it’s quiet when you bump your paddles or or watch against it i also take pleasure in maintaining the gunwales with an occasional light sanding and an application of fresh oil
[0:31:55 – 0:31:59] Adam: We wanted to name the boat and discuss several options, but nothing seemed to fit.
[0:32:00 – 0:32:11] Adam: Then, on our first big trip, the name came to my son Hans like a bolt of lightning as he carried the boat on a 1.2-mile portage between Chicken Bone Lake and McCargo Cove on Isle Royale.
[0:32:11 – 0:32:12] Erik: Oh, nice.
[0:32:12 – 0:32:14] Erik: We also flew over Isle Royale in general.
[0:32:14 – 0:32:14] Erik: Yeah.
[0:32:15 – 0:32:15] Adam: We did.
[0:32:16 – 0:32:23] Adam: When the going gets tough and we are longing to see that first glimpse of water at the end of the portage, Hans likes to ease the burden by singing.
[0:32:23 – 0:32:28] Adam: And on this particular day, the Marty Robbins song Cool Water was in his head.
[0:32:29 – 0:32:33] Adam: Old Dan and I with throats burned dry and souls that cry for water.
[0:32:34 – 0:32:36] Adam: Cool, clear water.
[0:32:37 – 0:33:02] Adam: dan can you see that big green tree where the water’s running free and it’s waiting there for you and me water cool clear water i you nailed it nailed it sure i’m not sure thank you for the lyrics i tried my best and uh cool water is a beautiful name for this boat because it is a beaut it is stunning look at this thing yep
[0:33:02 – 0:33:03] Erik: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[0:33:03 – 0:33:04] Adam: That is a nice color.
[0:33:04 – 0:33:06] Erik: Man, it’s a good-looking boat.
[0:33:07 – 0:33:07] Adam: I agree.
[0:33:07 – 0:33:13] Adam: I think anybody who’s listened to this show through 272 episodes knows I am a big fan of Gelcoat.
[0:33:15 – 0:33:16] Adam: We love the podcast.
[0:33:16 – 0:33:16] Adam: Thanks.
[0:33:16 – 0:33:18] Adam: David and Hans, thank you for the email and the story.
[0:33:19 – 0:33:20] Erik: Thank you, David at Hans.
[0:33:20 – 0:33:21] Erik: Yes, what were you saying?
[0:33:21 – 0:33:23] Adam: Yeah, gel coat plus Kevlar.
[0:33:24 – 0:33:36] Adam: I wish Gordy’s boat had ash or cherry gun whales, but it’s just got the aluminum and plastic caps, so it’s not the most luxurious of boats.
[0:33:36 – 0:33:48] Adam: But I’ve found that the gel coat with the Kevlar has been a fine combination of nimbleness, maneuverability, and ease of travel.
[0:33:49 – 0:33:52] Adam: Fast boat in the water and pretty nice on the portages too.
[0:33:53 – 0:33:54] Erik: Sure, yeah.
[0:33:54 – 0:34:02] Erik: And there’s really, you know, something that you could say about all aspects of life in regards to aesthetics.
[0:34:02 – 0:34:03] Adam: The aesthetics, yeah.
[0:34:04 – 0:34:06] Erik: I’m a pretty big proponent of aesthetics in my day-to-day life.
[0:34:07 – 0:34:15] Erik: You know, there’s not really a whole lot that brings me much more joy than something that just looks good and feels cool to own, honestly.
[0:34:15 – 0:34:16] Adam: Absolutely.
[0:34:16 – 0:34:17] Adam: What’s the point of living?
[0:34:17 – 0:34:18] Adam: Exactly.
[0:34:18 – 0:34:18] Adam: You have a cool-looking boat.
[0:34:19 – 0:34:43] Erik: yeah like half the time you see like these crazy like posts on like uh finance subreddits and they’re like you’d be crazy to buy something like that and it’s like well yeah if you want to look at it like black and white go through your life making every possible best decision to live your life the most financially true way i don’t want to eat oatmeal for every meal how much fun are you really gonna have throw it on on a throw it on on a cool water
[0:34:44 – 0:34:46] Adam: Cool water or a space lab.
[0:34:46 – 0:34:48] Erik: Or a space lab.
[0:34:48 – 0:34:49] Erik: 60 bucks.
[0:34:49 – 0:34:53] Erik: I mean, it could have been a dugout log for 60 bucks.
[0:34:54 – 0:34:55] Erik: Why not?
[0:34:55 – 0:35:02] Adam: Yeah, there’s like crappy old broken kayaks that don’t even float on the side of the road that people want $100 for.
[0:35:02 – 0:35:02] Adam: Give me a break.
[0:35:03 – 0:35:03] Erik: Totally.
[0:35:03 – 0:35:13] Erik: It’s one of the most legitimate screaming deals I think I’ve ever heard of.
[0:35:13 – 0:35:20] Adam: Yeah, those are two pretty stunning boats to start out tonight’s episode with, in addition to the sailing vessel.
[0:35:21 – 0:35:22] Erik: Yeah, we’re three for three.
[0:35:22 – 0:35:23] Adam: Oh, gee whiz.
[0:35:24 – 0:35:25] Erik: Also…
[0:35:26 – 0:35:30] Erik: Leading contender for end song for the…
[0:35:30 – 0:35:30] Erik: Cool Water.
[0:35:30 – 0:35:31] Erik: Cool Water, I guess.
[0:35:31 – 0:35:35] Erik: We’ll see how closely it matches up with your cover.
[0:35:35 – 0:35:38] Adam: I think I did pretty good for having not have heard that song for at least four years.
[0:35:40 – 0:36:04] Adam: yeah i can’t remember the last time i and not knowing what part of the song or you know and i’m not very musically inclined so yeah i know the song but i don’t think i could just off the top of my head like even whistle the tune i don’t think i did either like the two stanzas i didn’t do them the same though so one of them had to been right yeah it’s like the stanley cup i figured i’d yeah one of those cups was real we touched them both yeah uh man
[0:36:06 – 0:36:07] Adam: Well, thank you for the stories on the email.
[0:36:08 – 0:36:09] Adam: Those are a real delight.
[0:36:10 – 0:36:15] Erik: Yeah, it’s been too long since we’ve gotten readable emails.
[0:36:16 – 0:36:18] Erik: And also, yeah, we’ll be in touch.
[0:36:18 – 0:36:20] Erik: Nootropics guy, don’t worry.
[0:36:20 – 0:36:21] Adam: I need him.
[0:36:22 – 0:36:23] Adam: So I can sing.
[0:36:23 – 0:36:23] Adam: What is it?
[0:36:23 – 0:36:24] Adam: I can’t remember.
[0:36:24 – 0:36:25] Adam: Flow mode?
[0:36:25 – 0:36:26] Adam: Flow state.
[0:36:26 – 0:36:27] Adam: Yeah, I got to get my flow state on.
[0:36:27 – 0:36:28] Erik: State of flow.
[0:36:29 – 0:36:30] Adam: Got the heater on in here.
[0:36:30 – 0:36:31] Adam: We got the heat state going.
[0:36:31 – 0:36:32] Adam: Heat states are going.
[0:36:32 – 0:36:33] Adam: I’m layered up.
[0:36:33 – 0:36:34] Erik: I’m feeling pretty good.
[0:36:34 – 0:36:37] Adam: Yeah, we are joined out here with the sleeping Husky Arrow.
[0:36:38 – 0:36:40] Adam: She’s over there sleeping by the door, just waiting.
[0:36:41 – 0:36:42] Adam: Yeah.
[0:36:42 – 0:36:45] Adam: Let me be free to the cool water of the Cay Dunce River.
[0:36:46 – 0:36:54] Erik: Yeah, all my pets and significant others have been gone from the house for almost two weeks now.
[0:36:55 – 0:36:58] Erik: I’ve just been like standing in the yard like the Pablo Escobar meme.
[0:36:58 – 0:36:59] Adam: Hands behind the back.
[0:36:59 – 0:37:01] Adam: In a dry pool.
[0:37:01 – 0:37:02] Adam: Yeah, I didn’t know you even had a pool.
[0:37:03 – 0:37:03] Adam: There it is.
[0:37:04 – 0:37:05] Erik: That’s what I’ve done with my time.
[0:37:05 – 0:37:06] Erik: Dug a pool.
[0:37:06 – 0:37:07] Erik: Getting one prepped for next year.
[0:37:07 – 0:37:08] Erik: Excellent.
[0:37:08 – 0:37:09] Erik: This will be an excellent pool.
[0:37:11 – 0:37:12] Erik: Back on to the subreddit.
[0:37:12 – 0:37:13] Erik: Thank you for the emails.
[0:37:14 – 0:37:17] Erik: This will be the last of the boat shows.
[0:37:17 – 0:37:25] Erik: We’re going to go ahead and stamp our promise, our signed, sealed, and Trevern-approved promise seal.
[0:37:26 – 0:37:28] Erik: We’re working on getting those made into patches now.
[0:37:30 – 0:37:33] Erik: We will finish the rest of the comments tonight.
[0:37:33 – 0:37:45] Erik: So we do love the emails, but don’t send another one regarding your, or if you do, maybe we’ll squeak it in in the future, but we will be moving beyond the boat show going forward.
[0:37:46 – 0:37:49] Adam: It’s a dangerous game letting a live thread go for three weeks.
[0:37:50 – 0:37:54] Erik: Yeah, you kind of start getting into some weird things after that, especially after you let it go for two weeks.
[0:37:54 – 0:37:55] Erik: Yeah.
[0:37:55 – 0:37:56] Erik: We’ll see if we get into it.
[0:37:57 – 0:38:00] Erik: We can fall into the pit of vipers yet, my friend here.
[0:38:01 – 0:38:02] Adam: Yeah, we’ll see.
[0:38:02 – 0:38:07] Adam: We’re talking real confident right now, but we’ll be crying in 15 minutes.
[0:38:07 – 0:38:08] Erik: Trying to organize the comments.
[0:38:08 – 0:38:10] Adam: Did we read this one already?
[0:38:10 – 0:38:12] Adam: Where have we read this one?
[0:38:12 – 0:38:15] Adam: We are certain we know where we left off, but has the order stayed the same?
[0:38:16 – 0:38:16] Adam: No one can say.
[0:38:18 – 0:38:21] Erik: I remember you took a picture of it, but I don’t think we need it.
[0:38:21 – 0:38:30] Adam: Yeah, so far, there’s so many pictures of the CN Tower and Collective Arts beers and Hall of Fame hockey masks from gold goalies.
[0:38:30 – 0:38:32] Adam: Buried under 150 pictures.
[0:38:33 – 0:38:40] Adam: Yeah, I took a lot of pictures of goalie masks in there, so I didn’t have to scroll for quite a while to get back to last week’s thread.
[0:38:40 – 0:38:44] Adam: That was only a week ago, but boy, it seemed like years ago at this point.
[0:38:44 – 0:38:45] Erik: Yeah, it sure does.
[0:38:45 – 0:38:49] Erik: I mean, if you are ever in Toronto, just go to the Hockey Hall of Fame.
[0:38:50 – 0:38:51] Erik: It’s essentially what sold us.
[0:38:51 – 0:38:52] Adam: Just go for the goalie masks.
[0:38:52 – 0:38:58] Erik: We saw pictures of the old crazy goalie masks, and it was like one of the last rooms we found.
[0:38:58 – 0:39:08] Erik: I was slightly worried and about ready to be kind of disappointed, and then we found it, and it was just whoever put together that display, the lighting, it’s like almost horror-esque.
[0:39:09 – 0:39:10] Adam: Very much so.
[0:39:10 – 0:39:12] Adam: The lighting behind them.
[0:39:12 – 0:39:16] Adam: Yeah, we got just an electric blue light behind all these goalie masks.
[0:39:17 – 0:39:22] Erik: It was amazing also that that’s what they used to wear on their face in protection of what?
[0:39:22 – 0:39:26] Erik: The whole time we were like, this feels like it would exacerbate more damage.
[0:39:28 – 0:39:29] Adam: My whole face hurts now.
[0:39:29 – 0:39:32] Erik: Yeah, I smashed every bone in my face instead of breaking my nose.
[0:39:32 – 0:39:34] Adam: Both my cheeks and orbital bones are dead.
[0:39:37 – 0:39:40] Erik: I still can’t get out the picture of that one clear lucite plastic.
[0:39:41 – 0:39:44] Erik: It was like an inch thick with just one triangle hole for the mouth and nose.
[0:39:45 – 0:39:47] Erik: No edges or eye holes.
[0:39:47 – 0:39:49] Erik: It just looked so rudimentary.
[0:39:50 – 0:39:51] Erik: Better than nothing.
[0:39:51 – 0:39:52] Erik: Better than nothing.
[0:39:52 – 0:39:52] Erik: Was it though?
[0:39:52 – 0:39:53] Erik: I don’t know.
[0:39:55 – 0:40:12] Erik: all right here we go back on to digital reddit ghost of ed abby friend of the show three canoes that have been to bwca plus a kayak and a sup that have not made the trip
[0:40:13 – 0:40:16] Erik: We’ve got a Merrimack 17-foot tandem.
[0:40:17 – 0:40:22] Erik: I worked with the designer in 2020 to do their first naked Kevlar boat without a gel coat.
[0:40:23 – 0:40:29] Erik: I love the mix of old and new with the wood, ribs slash gunnels, and modern Kevlar material.
[0:40:30 – 0:40:32] Erik: I oil the exposed wood at least once per year.
[0:40:33 – 0:40:51] Adam: it’s a lot of wood oiling going on two we got two on the oil counter over here yeah um i i’d say we’re probably aiming at five talks of oil by the end of this episode i would say over under on oilings is five right now yeah i mean this is a modern updated uh odds makers there
[0:40:52 – 0:40:59] Erik: Nothing gets me quite as hot as a man oiling down his gunnels late fall before he stores it under all of his decoy boats.
[0:40:59 – 0:41:03] Adam: I always get out my shortest pair of cut-off jean shorts for that job.
[0:41:03 – 0:41:04] Adam: Oh, yeah.
[0:41:04 – 0:41:06] Adam: If I had wooden gunnels.
[0:41:06 – 0:41:06] Erik: Yeah.
[0:41:07 – 0:41:09] Erik: You just put on the shorts and come out and look at your gunnels.
[0:41:09 – 0:41:13] Adam: Just imagine having wooden gunnels and I just rub the oil on my own legs.
[0:41:14 – 0:41:16] Adam: What am I going to do with all this oil?
[0:41:16 – 0:41:17] Adam: At least once a year.
[0:41:19 – 0:41:20] Adam: Usually nearest the equinox.
[0:41:21 – 0:41:21] Adam: Perfect.
[0:41:21 – 0:41:22] Adam: Yeah.
[0:41:22 – 0:41:29] Adam: The Sunday nearest the equinox, put on your shortest shorts, if you don’t have wooden gunnels, of course, and then just oil your own legs.
[0:41:29 – 0:41:30] Adam: Yep.
[0:41:30 – 0:41:33] Adam: And then imagine what it would be like to own a cool boat like that.
[0:41:33 – 0:41:35] Erik: To live in a world with wooden gunnels that you own?
[0:41:35 – 0:41:41] Adam: We’re just going to have to oil the handle of the landing tamer back there behind you.
[0:41:41 – 0:41:41] Adam: That’s made of wood.
[0:41:42 – 0:41:42] Erik: There you go.
[0:41:43 – 0:41:45] Adam: It’s beautiful, especially when oiled.
[0:41:46 – 0:41:51] Erik: Old Town Discovery 174, parentheses, 1996.
[0:41:52 – 0:41:55] Erik: Got this one used in 2010, and it’s a beast.
[0:41:56 – 0:41:58] Erik: The cross-linked poly layup.
[0:41:59 – 0:42:05] Erik: It only gets to go on trips with minimal portages and is mostly for use on non BW river floats.
[0:42:07 – 0:42:12] Erik: It has a crack in one side from blowing over during some less than ideal storage.
[0:42:12 – 0:42:14] Erik: And I need to address that before it gets worse.
[0:42:15 – 0:42:25] Erik: We also have got an old town 12 foot solo, mostly used as the functional equivalent of a fishing boat, but also has made some BWCA trips due to group numbers.
[0:42:26 – 0:42:29] Erik: We use an extra long double bladed paddle.
[0:42:30 – 0:42:33] Erik: It’s wide and slow for a solo canoe, but it’s great for fishing.
[0:42:34 – 0:42:43] Erik: My main mod that I’ve done to all three canoes is to install a Scotty insert into the bow for the Scotty anchor lock.
[0:42:44 – 0:42:45] Erik: Scotty.
[0:42:45 – 0:42:47] Erik: I don’t know about the Scotty anchor lock.
[0:42:47 – 0:42:47] Adam: How’s Scotty spelled?
[0:42:49 – 0:42:50] Erik: The usual way.
[0:42:50 – 0:42:51] Erik: Not the Baldwin way.
[0:42:52 – 0:42:52] Erik: Oh.
[0:42:53 – 0:42:53] Erik: Why?
[0:42:53 – 0:42:54] Erik: Why?
[0:42:54 – 0:42:56] Erik: Makes anchor management much easier.
[0:42:57 – 0:42:59] Erik: The solo boat also has an insert in the bow.
[0:43:00 – 0:43:02] Erik: All three canoes get stored in the garage.
[0:43:03 – 0:43:03] Erik: Look at this guy.
[0:43:03 – 0:43:05] Erik: This garage.
[0:43:05 – 0:43:06] Erik: It’s a big garage.
[0:43:07 – 0:43:09] Erik: The two tandems have pulley lift systems.
[0:43:09 – 0:43:17] Erik: The solo is light enough that I just lift it to a pair of big hooks that are high up on the wall and hang the boat horizontal.
[0:43:18 – 0:43:18] Adam: Cool.
[0:43:19 – 0:43:19] Erik: Yeah.
[0:43:22 – 0:43:22] Erik: All right.
[0:43:23 – 0:43:24] Adam: Triple boat in the garage.
[0:43:24 – 0:43:26] Erik: Triple boat, grease and gunnels.
[0:43:26 – 0:43:27] Erik: What is that, linseed?
[0:43:27 – 0:43:29] Adam: Yeah, what’s the best oil?
[0:43:32 – 0:43:33] Adam: Grape seed.
[0:43:34 – 0:43:35] Adam: High smoke point.
[0:43:35 – 0:43:37] Adam: I like to use avocado oil on my legs.
[0:43:38 – 0:43:39] Adam: That’s my gunnels.
[0:43:39 – 0:43:40] Adam: Yep.
[0:43:40 – 0:43:41] Adam: My personal gunnels.
[0:43:42 – 0:43:47] Adam: Next up on the show, dear friend of the show, Kiggity K-Bomb.
[0:43:49 – 0:43:50] Adam: 22 days ago.
[0:43:51 – 0:43:52] Adam: But it was edited?
[0:43:52 – 0:43:53] Erik: Oh, God.
[0:43:53 – 0:43:54] Erik: Another edited?
[0:43:54 – 0:43:54] Erik: What did you edit?
[0:43:56 – 0:43:57] Adam: Seven boxes of wine.
[0:43:58 – 0:44:06] Adam: My flagship is an old 17-foot Alumacraft I bought from a neighbor about eight years ago.
[0:44:06 – 0:44:08] Erik: First successful Alumacraft ever.
[0:44:08 – 0:44:09] Erik: Nailed it.
[0:44:10 – 0:44:17] Adam: From a neighbor about eight years ago who bought it from Latoural Resort garage sale about 20 years ago.
[0:44:17 – 0:44:17] Erik: Wow.
[0:44:17 – 0:44:22] Adam: It’s pretty banged up and scratched up, but allegedly clocks in at less than 65 pounds.
[0:44:22 – 0:44:22] Adam: Allegedly.
[0:44:22 – 0:44:23] Erik: Allegedly.
[0:44:23 – 0:44:25] Adam: Especially when I’m paddling with my kids.
[0:44:25 – 0:44:31] Adam: I appreciate that I can take a beating and we can auger it into a rocky landing without concern.
[0:44:32 – 0:44:36] Adam: The keel also helps me when paddling with the kids.
[0:44:36 – 0:44:42] Adam: I don’t mind portaging it, but it mostly gets used for day tripping or short trips into entry point lakes.
[0:44:42 – 0:44:49] Adam: I once took it on a trip into the Misquah Hills, and the brutal portage between Swan and Vernon just about killed me.
[0:44:50 – 0:44:59] Adam: When tripping with my group of guys who are a little more hardcore paddlers, we’ll take a Sanborn, a friend of mine owns, and then rent another Kevlar ship from an outfitter.
[0:45:00 – 0:45:02] Adam: That’s not the worst idea ever.
[0:45:02 – 0:45:05] Adam: Just get a really nice new Kevlar, rent it, and go.
[0:45:05 – 0:45:05] Erik: Yeah.
[0:45:06 – 0:45:07] Adam: A Sanborn?
[0:45:07 – 0:45:08] Adam: Have you ever been in one of them?
[0:45:09 – 0:45:11] Erik: Uh, I’ve sat in a Sanborn.
[0:45:11 – 0:45:11] Erik: Yeah.
[0:45:11 – 0:45:16] Erik: I remember they came around Clearwater, uh, sniffing around.
[0:45:16 – 0:45:17] Adam: They were sniffing around.
[0:45:17 – 0:45:19] Erik: Looking for us to buy a fleet of Sanborns.
[0:45:19 – 0:45:22] Erik: And I took one out and paddled it with, uh.
[0:45:22 – 0:45:22] Erik: These guys.
[0:45:22 – 0:45:22] Erik: Yeah.
[0:45:24 – 0:45:26] Erik: And we augured it into a nice rocky shoreline.
[0:45:26 – 0:45:27] Erik: I love that term.
[0:45:27 – 0:45:27] Erik: I’m going to start.
[0:45:27 – 0:45:28] Erik: Augured it in.
[0:45:28 – 0:45:29] Erik: Augured it in.
[0:45:29 – 0:45:29] Erik: Let’s augure it in.
[0:45:29 – 0:45:31] Erik: You could really do that with an aluminum.
[0:45:31 – 0:45:32] Adam: No worries.
[0:45:32 – 0:45:33] Adam: I’m a master of ships.
[0:45:33 – 0:45:35] Adam: I’ll augure this thing right in there.
[0:45:35 – 0:45:36] UNKNOWN: Yeah.
[0:45:36 – 0:45:52] Adam: not the hot pants oh my gosh my heels uh next up on the show uh dearest friend of the show hot malicious 22 days ago also edited what’s going on right now guys
[0:45:53 – 0:45:56] Erik: They realize that they didn’t get their responses read on the first episode.
[0:45:57 – 0:45:57] Erik: There’s still time.
[0:45:57 – 0:45:58] Erik: They’re juicing them up.
[0:45:58 – 0:46:01] Erik: Going through their responses with a fine-toothed comb.
[0:46:02 – 0:46:03] Erik: I appreciate that.
[0:46:04 – 0:46:05] Erik: What’s the old Hemingway quote?
[0:46:05 – 0:46:06] Erik: Write drunk, edit sober.
[0:46:06 – 0:46:08] Adam: Something like that.
[0:46:08 – 0:46:09] Adam: Yeah, I think so.
[0:46:10 – 0:46:11] Adam: I got a quote for you.
[0:46:13 – 0:46:15] Adam: Everyone does better when everyone does better.
[0:46:17 – 0:46:18] Adam: What’s the quote?
[0:46:18 – 0:46:20] Adam: I think that’s the actual quote.
[0:46:20 – 0:46:20] Adam: That’s the quote.
[0:46:21 – 0:46:22] Adam: Is that your quote, though?
[0:46:22 – 0:46:23] Adam: It’s not my quote.
[0:46:23 – 0:46:24] Adam: It’s Wellstone.
[0:46:25 – 0:46:25] Adam: Yeah, right.
[0:46:26 – 0:46:32] Adam: I said, that seems wrong now that I’m saying it out loud, but I read it the other day, and I was like, yeah, that’s got to be one of the all-time best quotes.
[0:46:32 – 0:46:33] Erik: Yeah, it is.
[0:46:34 – 0:46:46] Erik: One of the more, I don’t know, I don’t think I was sentient enough at the time when he was a senator and alive, but by all accounts and everything that I’ve seen since, it seemed like he was a pretty good guy.
[0:46:46 – 0:46:48] Adam: Yeah, I missed out on Wellstone.
[0:46:48 – 0:46:50] Adam: What would he say these days?
[0:46:51 – 0:46:51] Adam: That’s what he would say.
[0:46:51 – 0:46:54] Adam: That’s why I read it because they’re like, what would he say?
[0:46:55 – 0:46:57] Adam: Everybody does better when everybody does better.
[0:46:57 – 0:46:58] Erik: Yeah, so simple.
[0:46:59 – 0:47:02] Adam: Appalicious with six boxes of wine.
[0:47:03 – 0:47:03] Adam: Thank you for writing.
[0:47:04 – 0:47:10] Adam: I do not own a boat, but on my last three solos, I rented a Winona Encounter solo canoe.
[0:47:11 – 0:47:16] Adam: A Prism is probably faster, but the Encounter seemed more stable and easily hauled all my stuff.
[0:47:17 – 0:47:23] Adam: On my last group trip, I also did not need a boat because Pequod Seapod brought his.
[0:47:23 – 0:47:26] Adam: I don’t remember the make or model, but it was a damn fine boat.
[0:47:28 – 0:47:44] Adam: thanks for the information uh yeah somebody uh free air jacuzzi is encouraging the prism and the responses there but i think i agree the encounter i believe was my first solo trip was in a encounter from clearwater not the knack that was just a day trip
[0:47:45 – 0:47:46] Adam: That was just a day trip.
[0:47:46 – 0:47:48] Adam: That thing is too fast.
[0:47:48 – 0:47:49] Adam: The Kanak?
[0:47:49 – 0:47:49] Adam: Yeah.
[0:47:49 – 0:47:50] Adam: I agree.
[0:47:50 – 0:47:53] Adam: The Encounter was my favorite of the solo boats, at least in that era.
[0:47:53 – 0:47:54] Adam: I don’t know what they’ve got these days.
[0:47:55 – 0:47:55] Erik: I don’t think they still…
[0:47:56 – 0:47:57] Erik: They can’t still possibly make the Kanak.
[0:47:58 – 0:47:58] Erik: I hope not.
[0:47:59 – 0:48:04] Erik: It’s a nightmare monstrosity of science that should never be spoken of again.
[0:48:04 – 0:48:05] Adam: Yeah.
[0:48:06 – 0:48:06] UNKNOWN: God.
[0:48:07 – 0:48:08] Adam: Please, lock it tight.
[0:48:09 – 0:48:11] Erik: Yeah, all you thought about is whether you could.
[0:48:11 – 0:48:13] Erik: Never thought about whether you should.
[0:48:13 – 0:48:14] Adam: That was also well-stunned.
[0:48:14 – 0:48:16] Adam: Yeah.
[0:48:16 – 0:48:18] Adam: I can’t believe Dick Cheney had him murdered.
[0:48:20 – 0:48:23] Erik: Yeah, that’s the work in theory, and I believe it.
[0:48:23 – 0:48:24] Adam: I do, too.
[0:48:24 – 0:48:24] Adam: I believe it.
[0:48:25 – 0:48:26] Adam: Dick Cheney’s a monster.
[0:48:27 – 0:48:31] Adam: We’ve never said anything but kind words about the former vice president on this show.
[0:48:31 – 0:48:40] Adam: But once I found out that he had the assassination ordered to make sure that the Iraq invasion went through, I can never look at him the same, Eric.
[0:48:41 – 0:48:42] Adam: It’s always just been since then.
[0:48:43 – 0:48:44] Adam: That was the final straw.
[0:48:45 – 0:48:46] Erik: That was the final straw.
[0:48:48 – 0:48:49] Erik: Squatch hunted.
[0:48:49 – 0:48:52] Erik: There’s a hyphen in there.
[0:48:53 – 0:48:54] Erik: Squatch hunted.
[0:48:54 – 0:48:54] Erik: Squatch hunted.
[0:48:55 – 0:48:58] Erik: Squatch hyphen hunted.
[0:48:59 – 0:49:04] Erik: Back in 2019, I grabbed a Kevlar Winona Spirit 2 from Craigslist.
[0:49:09 – 0:49:12] Erik: Sorry, I was just distracted by the story.
[0:49:12 – 0:49:17] Adam: I don’t know what’s in this comment, but Eric froze up there.
[0:49:18 – 0:49:20] Adam: I was afraid for one second there.
[0:49:21 – 0:49:23] Erik: My mom didn’t know.
[0:49:24 – 0:49:26] Erik: She doesn’t really know what the internet is.
[0:49:27 – 0:49:29] Erik: And she’d always see my dad on Craigslist.
[0:49:30 – 0:49:35] Erik: And she thought it was his own personal website of things that he wanted to buy and eventually own.
[0:49:35 – 0:49:37] Erik: Because his name is Craig.
[0:49:37 – 0:49:39] Adam: I always assumed your father owned Craigslist too.
[0:49:41 – 0:49:41] Adam: He doesn’t?
[0:49:42 – 0:49:44] Erik: Oh, isn’t that cute?
[0:49:44 – 0:49:46] Erik: He’s got his own little list of things.
[0:49:46 – 0:49:47] Erik: Craigslist.
[0:49:48 – 0:49:50] Erik: Anyway, it is exactly an 89 model year.
[0:49:53 – 0:49:55] Erik: but still in great shape.
[0:49:56 – 0:49:59] Erik: It had one hole that was professionally patched before I got it.
[0:50:00 – 0:50:05] Erik: It doesn’t have a name yet, but I took my 13 year old daughter on her first trip to the park this year.
[0:50:05 – 0:50:07] Erik: And I think I’ll get her to help with that.
[0:50:08 – 0:50:09] Adam: That’s a good idea.
[0:50:09 – 0:50:13] Erik: Yeah, they don’t think about it too much.
[0:50:14 – 0:50:16] Erik: The name will come out and it’ll just make all the sense in the world.
[0:50:16 – 0:50:17] Erik: It’ll just be perfect.
[0:50:18 – 0:50:19] Erik: Like cool waters.
[0:50:20 – 0:50:26] Erik: I have an epoxy clear coat repair kit that I touch up the scrapes and dings after we get back from a trip.
[0:50:28 – 0:50:31] Erik: I’ve taken it on five trips since I got it and I’m hoping for many more.
[0:50:32 – 0:50:37] Erik: The only bow accessory is it has a car dash stick on compass.
[0:50:37 – 0:50:38] Erik: Oh, cool.
[0:50:38 – 0:50:39] Erik: Oh, nice.
[0:50:39 – 0:50:42] Erik: One of those old man, like floating ball ones.
[0:50:42 – 0:50:44] Adam: My grandpa had one of them on the dash.
[0:50:44 – 0:50:46] Adam: Kind of like a Chevy Celebrity.
[0:50:47 – 0:50:48] Erik: Nice.
[0:50:48 – 0:50:50] Erik: You get like the 360, like you see them on planes.
[0:50:52 – 0:50:53] Adam: Yeah.
[0:50:53 – 0:50:57] Adam: I remember seeing a car back in the day and they had like an altimeter and like a pitch meter.
[0:50:58 – 0:50:59] Adam: What do you call that?
[0:50:59 – 0:50:59] Adam: Yeah.
[0:51:00 – 0:51:01] Adam: See how steep the hill you’re going up is.
[0:51:02 – 0:51:02] Erik: Yeah, totally.
[0:51:03 – 0:51:06] Adam: This car has got a list to starboard.
[0:51:07 – 0:51:13] Erik: My bow partners can’t seem to keep the boat in a straight line if I stop paddling to look at the map, so they are actually navigators now.
[0:51:15 – 0:51:23] Erik: I have a couple of cheap rod holders that clamp around the thwarts for fishing slash trolling and a friend 3D printed a bracket for my fish finder arm.
[0:51:23 – 0:51:24] Erik: Oh, cool.
[0:51:25 – 0:51:27] Erik: So she hangs upside down in my garage in the off season.
[0:51:28 – 0:51:32] Erik: I have a bike hoist I got from the Isle of Shame at Aldi to hang it.
[0:51:34 – 0:51:38] Erik: Oh, I’ve never really thought of calling that the Isle of Shame at Aldi.
[0:51:38 – 0:51:40] Erik: I just call it the wild card aisle.
[0:51:40 – 0:51:42] Adam: You never know what you’re going to find.
[0:51:42 – 0:51:42] Erik: What is this?
[0:51:43 – 0:51:43] Erik: It’ll be June.
[0:51:43 – 0:51:45] Erik: It’s like, hey, it’s an advent calendar.
[0:51:45 – 0:51:45] Adam: Yeah.
[0:51:46 – 0:51:51] Adam: It’s a rare orchid next to a Christmas rat and some nice slippers.
[0:51:51 – 0:51:54] Erik: It’s a waterproof Bluetooth speaker for the shower.
[0:51:55 – 0:51:56] Erik: It hangs on the shower head.
[0:51:58 – 0:51:59] Erik: Also dispenses soap.
[0:52:00 – 0:52:00] Erik: Oh, yeah.
[0:52:00 – 0:52:01] Erik: Comes with soap.
[0:52:02 – 0:52:03] Erik: And weather radio bands.
[0:52:05 – 0:52:09] Erik: You definitely want to be getting the weather radio robot going in the morning when you’re showering.
[0:52:10 – 0:52:11] Adam: Especially during a Nor’easter.
[0:52:12 – 0:52:12] Erik: Oh, yeah.
[0:52:13 – 0:52:14] Erik: I’ll read another one here.
[0:52:14 – 0:52:15] Adam: All right.
[0:52:15 – 0:52:16] Erik: The Isle of Shame.
[0:52:17 – 0:52:17] Adam: That’s great.
[0:52:17 – 0:52:18] Erik: Wilderness Coffee.
[0:52:18 – 0:52:19] Erik: Wilderness Coffee.
[0:52:21 – 0:52:22] Erik: First time caller?
[0:52:22 – 0:52:23] Adam: Possibly first time?
[0:52:23 – 0:52:24] Adam: Welcome to the show.
[0:52:25 – 0:52:26] Erik: 21 days ago.
[0:52:26 – 0:52:29] Erik: The fleet consists of three canoes.
[0:52:29 – 0:52:32] Erik: I have a 2000 Mad River Lamoille.
[0:52:32 – 0:52:34] Erik: Oh, my.
[0:52:34 – 0:52:36] Erik: Clearwater had a Lamoille for a second.
[0:52:36 – 0:52:37] Erik: We bought it from a neighbor.
[0:52:37 – 0:52:37] Adam: Yeah.
[0:52:38 – 0:52:40] Erik: We could just never really get it to a point where…
[0:52:40 – 0:52:42] Adam: Is that that cream colored one?
[0:52:42 – 0:52:44] Adam: Oh, this might be that canoe.
[0:52:44 – 0:52:45] Adam: Is it the cream?
[0:52:45 – 0:52:46] Erik: Wow, what?
[0:52:46 – 0:52:53] Erik: I have a 2000 Mad River Lamoille canoe that has some bent gunwale damage from a tree falling on it when it resided at Clearwater.
[0:52:53 – 0:52:54] Adam: Okay.
[0:52:55 – 0:52:56] Erik: I believe H.D.
[0:52:56 – 0:53:02] Erik: Mayo may know the backstory and how it ended up in the Gunflint Trail Fire Department auction where we bought it.
[0:53:03 – 0:53:04] Adam: An auction?
[0:53:04 – 0:53:05] Erik: Nobody invited me.
[0:53:06 – 0:53:07] Erik: I don’t remember how it got to the auction.
[0:53:08 – 0:53:08] Erik: I don’t know.
[0:53:08 – 0:53:10] Erik: I think we bought it from an…
[0:53:11 – 0:53:16] Erik: No, we had it at Clearwater and there was no, we didn’t have any use for it.
[0:53:17 – 0:53:19] Erik: And cause it was just like a little too long.
[0:53:19 – 0:53:31] Erik: It didn’t, you couldn’t like put it into a fleet with like, you know, when you’re trying to build a trip for you, six guys going out, you don’t want to do like one Lamoille, one random Lamoille.
[0:53:31 – 0:53:31] Erik: Yeah.
[0:53:31 – 0:53:34] Adam: And then everybody’s fighting over who gets to ride in the Lamoille.
[0:53:34 – 0:53:34] Erik: Yeah.
[0:53:34 – 0:53:36] Erik: So then we sold it to a neighbor.
[0:53:37 – 0:53:38] Adam: Okay, it was reversed.
[0:53:38 – 0:53:45] Erik: Yes, we sold it to grandson of Charlie Bostrom, Don, with two Ns.
[0:53:45 – 0:53:47] Erik: Don.
[0:53:47 – 0:53:48] Erik: Two Ns, Don Bostrom.
[0:53:49 – 0:53:52] Erik: And then a tree fell on it, obviously.
[0:53:53 – 0:53:54] Erik: And then he came back.
[0:53:54 – 0:53:56] Erik: He’s like, you guys want to buy this Lamoille back?
[0:53:56 – 0:53:56] UNKNOWN: Yeah.
[0:53:57 – 0:53:58] Adam: That’s how this works, Don.
[0:53:58 – 0:53:59] Adam: I don’t want your…
[0:53:59 – 0:54:01] Adam: I don’t, Don, think so.
[0:54:04 – 0:54:09] Erik: It’s like, no, I do not want a busted ass Lamoille that we didn’t want in the first place back.
[0:54:10 – 0:54:11] Erik: So that’s the story for you.
[0:54:11 – 0:54:13] Adam: We were trying to sell it to get rid of the thing.
[0:54:13 – 0:54:16] Adam: Hey, you guys sure you don’t want this Lamoille back?
[0:54:16 – 0:54:18] Erik: Pretty sweet deal I got for you.
[0:54:18 – 0:54:21] Erik: It’s bent up at a 40 degree angle on one side.
[0:54:22 – 0:54:22] Erik: Anyway…
[0:54:23 – 0:54:24] Erik: It has gone on several trips since then.
[0:54:24 – 0:54:26] Adam: So it’s got a Bostrom lineage to it.
[0:54:26 – 0:54:27] Adam: Yes, it does.
[0:54:28 – 0:54:31] Adam: Does it still have the pipe with the rabbit on the front?
[0:54:32 – 0:54:37] Erik: I’m sure that was, I think that’s been Mad River’s kind of general logo for a while.
[0:54:37 – 0:54:38] Adam: I assume it does.
[0:54:38 – 0:54:40] Adam: Is it the cream colored one?
[0:54:40 – 0:54:42] Adam: Do I have this wrong or am I thinking of a different Mad River?
[0:54:42 – 0:54:46] Erik: Yeah, no, it was like a gel coat, like a creamy gel coat.
[0:54:46 – 0:54:47] Erik: Creamy.
[0:54:47 – 0:54:47] Erik: Creamy.
[0:54:48 – 0:54:48] Adam: Yeah.
[0:54:50 – 0:54:57] Adam: Creamy like a limited edition leatherback brewing company Alhahwe Hazy India Pale Ale.
[0:54:57 – 0:55:00] Erik: Just like that.
[0:55:00 – 0:55:04] Adam: So it has gone through… Creamy like a juicy booty from the Virgin Islands.
[0:55:04 – 0:55:05] Erik: Not that creamy.
[0:55:06 – 0:55:11] Erik: A few rivets are starting to loosen up and it is time to replace the gunnels before something bad happens.
[0:55:12 – 0:55:41] Erik: the rest of the fleet includes a 1973 grumman ultralight ultralight what’s a 73 grumman ultralight weigh 192 pounds hey it’s ultralight yeah it’s only got v8 yeah they just took a wing from a warhawk world war ii of some sort and bent it and called it a canoe it’s ultralight boys my parents uh they bought uh with their parents at hoigard second hoigard’s shout out
[0:55:41 – 0:55:42] Erik: I don’t even know what this is.
[0:55:42 – 0:55:43] Erik: What is that?
[0:55:43 – 0:55:44] Adam: You got to get them Hoyguards.
[0:55:45 – 0:55:48] Erik: Used it on my first BWCA trip when I was three years old.
[0:55:49 – 0:55:49] Erik: Wow.
[0:55:49 – 0:55:51] Erik: That’s a legacy canoe.
[0:55:52 – 0:55:53] Erik: That’s a memory.
[0:55:53 – 0:55:56] Erik: They also have a heavy Alumacraft that came with the land.
[0:55:57 – 0:55:57] Erik: Wow.
[0:55:57 – 0:56:00] Erik: You always know you get a watercraft that comes with some land.
[0:56:00 – 0:56:00] Erik: Yeah.
[0:56:00 – 0:56:01] Erik: That thing’s not going to be light.
[0:56:02 – 0:56:02] Erik: No, it’s a pretty good deal.
[0:56:03 – 0:56:04] Erik: Yeah, it’s a pretty good deal.
[0:56:04 – 0:56:07] Erik: Yeah, you throw in that Alumacraft, I think I’ll buy your property.
[0:56:07 – 0:56:08] Adam: That’s just called being smart.
[0:56:08 – 0:56:12] Erik: That’s just called being smart.
[0:56:12 – 0:56:12] Erik: Oh, man.
[0:56:12 – 0:56:16] Erik: The land was purchased where our cabin near the end of the Gunflint Trail is.
[0:56:16 – 0:56:21] Erik: The canoe went through the Ham Lake fire in an area that burned hot.
[0:56:22 – 0:56:23] Erik: And still works well.
[0:56:23 – 0:56:24] Erik: Forged.
[0:56:24 – 0:56:24] Erik: Wow.
[0:56:24 – 0:56:25] Erik: Yeah.
[0:56:25 – 0:56:28] Erik: I would like to get a Northwind 20 when I can find a good deal on one.
[0:56:29 – 0:56:30] Erik: Man, Wilderness Coffee.
[0:56:31 – 0:56:33] Erik: I did not think I was going to get to.
[0:56:33 – 0:56:33] Erik: Quite the quiver.
[0:56:34 – 0:56:37] Erik: Relitigate?
[0:56:37 – 0:56:40] Erik: No, relive the whole story of the Lamoille.
[0:56:40 – 0:56:46] Adam: The only thing better than that would be if the next comment’s about somebody that has the sister ship to the Gordie boat.
[0:56:47 – 0:56:50] Erik: Yeah, or somebody’s got the Min 2 Han.
[0:56:50 – 0:56:51] Adam: That’s what I’m talking about.
[0:56:52 – 0:56:53] Erik: Oh, yes.
[0:56:53 – 0:56:53] Erik: Okay.
[0:56:53 – 0:56:56] Adam: Those are the two white gel coat boats that are stuffed in the back of the Clearwater lot.
[0:56:57 – 0:56:59] Adam: This one was covered in moss.
[0:56:59 – 0:57:02] Erik: Yeah, that one did have some crazy mosses growing on it.
[0:57:02 – 0:57:03] Adam: Took a power washer to this boat.
[0:57:03 – 0:57:04] Erik: Yeah.
[0:57:05 – 0:57:07] Erik: Well, it’s probably a good thing I ended up reading that one.
[0:57:07 – 0:57:08] Erik: I think it was much more enjoyable for me.
[0:57:08 – 0:57:09] Erik: I saw Lamoille.
[0:57:09 – 0:57:11] Erik: I was like, I haven’t seen that.
[0:57:11 – 0:57:12] Erik: I haven’t heard that name.
[0:57:12 – 0:57:13] Erik: Those are even out there.
[0:57:13 – 0:57:16] Erik: I haven’t heard that name since the start of the Clone Wars.
[0:57:16 – 0:57:17] Adam: I haven’t heard this name in a while.
[0:57:17 – 0:57:20] Adam: Next up on the show, a dear friend of the show, J. Dat.
[0:57:21 – 0:57:22] Erik: Oh, yeah.
[0:57:22 – 0:57:23] Adam: 21 days ago.
[0:57:24 – 0:57:25] Adam: Six boxes of wine.
[0:57:26 – 0:57:29] Adam: And J. Dat has responded to this one, so I think we’ll go with both.
[0:57:30 – 0:57:30] Erik: Mm-hmm.
[0:57:31 – 0:57:35] Adam: My OG boat was an Alumacraft Quetico 17.
[0:57:36 – 0:57:37] Erik: Lightweight?
[0:57:38 – 0:57:39] Adam: It just says QT17.
[0:57:41 – 0:57:44] Adam: I don’t think that’s a Quetico 17 from a Lumicraft.
[0:57:44 – 0:57:45] Adam: Lumicraft.
[0:57:45 – 0:57:46] Erik: QT.
[0:57:46 – 0:57:47] Adam: I don’t know.
[0:57:47 – 0:57:55] Adam: It’s a QT 17 from a Lumicraft that I sold when I got a job at a small canoe manufacturing company and had access to a fleet of boats.
[0:57:55 – 0:58:03] Adam: Fast forward to the market bottoming out and my services no longer needed, I started building a cedar strip Bear Mountain Huron cruiser.
[0:58:04 – 0:58:10] Adam: Took a year and a half, but it made it to the boundary waters while my paddling and life partner was pregnant with our tumble tot.
[0:58:11 – 0:58:19] Adam: It’s 15 foot 9 inches and like 32 inches wide, so it handles really well solo or tandem, and it’s perfect for the wife and I.
[0:58:20 – 0:58:25] Adam: With a kid in the mix, I may need to build a bigger one, but I am hooked on woodcore boats.
[0:58:26 – 0:58:26] Erik: Woodcore.
[0:58:27 – 0:58:31] Adam: The complete silence through the water and the glide are unlike anything else.
[0:58:31 – 0:58:32] Adam: Yes, it is a little heavier.
[0:58:33 – 0:58:38] Adam: I didn’t lightweight anything, so it is 53 pounds, but man, it is worth every ounce.
[0:58:39 – 0:58:58] Adam: update three days ago oh no i use these suspends brackets from the farm and barn to hang the canoe on the garage sidewall wife’s car can still fit in underneath it next to it there we go is there a link i don’t know it says these suspends brackets but i don’t see a link
[0:59:00 – 0:59:02] Adam: But, yeah, hanging in the garage.
[0:59:03 – 0:59:03] Adam: It’s an indoor boat.
[0:59:04 – 0:59:05] Adam: You can’t be keeping a boat like that outdoors.
[0:59:06 – 0:59:07] Adam: No, that doesn’t sound like it.
[0:59:07 – 0:59:11] Erik: It’s just hanging from the rafters like the tennis ball.
[0:59:11 – 0:59:12] Adam: There we go.
[0:59:12 – 0:59:14] Erik: So you know exactly how far up to pull.
[0:59:14 – 0:59:17] Erik: So you’re a centimeter from the end of the barn.
[0:59:17 – 0:59:18] Adam: Perfecto.
[0:59:21 – 0:59:24] Adam: Next up on the show, McManawaite.
[0:59:27 – 0:59:30] Erik: I think they’ve weighed in in the past.
[0:59:30 – 0:59:31] Adam: Welcome back to Tumble Home.
[0:59:32 – 0:59:43] Adam: A few years ago, my parents gifted me and my now wife an Illumicraft that they bought cheap from a family friend that took dozens of trips in the BWCA with it in the 90s and 2000s.
[0:59:44 – 0:59:55] Adam: I’ve only used it so far on local lakes, but since my source of using, renting Kevlar for cheap has dried up, it may make an appearance once again in the BWCA if needed.
[0:59:57 – 1:00:07] Adam: Since said source has gone away, my father and I bought a Winona Champlain from them for dirt cheap, but need to fix some minor cracks and give it a fresh coat of the hull.
[1:00:08 – 1:00:10] Adam: Surprisingly, it is in great shape for now.
[1:00:11 – 1:00:15] Adam: It’s third owner and being a used outfitter boat.
[1:00:16 – 1:00:19] Adam: We can wait to refinish it and get some bootleg merch stickers on it.
[1:00:20 – 1:00:20] Adam: Can’t wait.
[1:00:22 – 1:00:24] Adam: I haven’t been a while since I’ve been in a Champlain, Eric.
[1:00:25 – 1:00:26] Erik: Yeah, it has.
[1:00:27 – 1:00:30] Erik: Is this somebody I used to know that they no longer get a deal from me?
[1:00:30 – 1:00:32] Adam: That’s the, I think what’s implied.
[1:00:33 – 1:00:34] Adam: You’re giving out deals?
[1:00:34 – 1:00:34] Erik: I don’t know.
[1:00:34 – 1:00:36] Erik: I don’t think I have that many friends.
[1:00:36 – 1:00:40] Adam: So this is maybe they got a Champlain from an outfitter, huh?
[1:00:40 – 1:00:41] Adam: Yeah.
[1:00:41 – 1:00:44] Erik: Not to say that there aren’t other people who could have hookups at outfitters, but.
[1:00:45 – 1:00:48] Adam: That is a crazy boat to paddle a Champlain.
[1:00:49 – 1:00:53] Erik: Yeah, talk about aesthetics and everything, you know, things that you do in life.
[1:00:53 – 1:01:00] Erik: Try and make the decision to allow it in, you know, whether or not it gives you joy.
[1:01:00 – 1:01:03] Erik: That boat does not give me joy.
[1:01:03 – 1:01:04] Adam: The Champlain?
[1:01:04 – 1:01:05] Adam: Not at all.
[1:01:07 – 1:01:15] Erik: Yeah, I guess if you’re in there with Dennis on a day trip out to the Palisades and you for sure don’t want to tip over, take the Champlain.
[1:01:15 – 1:01:23] Adam: If you want to go fly fishing for pike and jackfish and stand up while battling a 42-inch gator, Champlain.
[1:01:23 – 1:01:24] Erik: Champlain.
[1:01:25 – 1:01:30] Adam: I’m going with Island Life from Leatherback Brewing for the second half of this night’s episode here.
[1:01:30 – 1:01:32] Adam: This is Tumble Home After Dark.
[1:01:33 – 1:01:35] Adam: Oh, my.
[1:01:35 – 1:01:35] Adam: Ugh.
[1:01:39 – 1:02:03] Adam: leatherback brewing company thank you nick and amy i’m into beer number two oh it’s a light beer it’s been a while since we’ve had one do that well like i said it was down to 21 the other morning i would know my exact measurement but my weather station was down due to the power outage oh damn yeah but um like when i got up finally and just started the truck it was at 21 so i think it may have gotten colder
[1:02:03 – 1:02:05] Erik: Actually, what day was this?
[1:02:06 – 1:02:08] Erik: Was that the morning after that wind blew through?
[1:02:08 – 1:02:15] Adam: Yeah, so it was power outage on Monday into Tuesday, and then overnight into Tuesday is when it got real cold.
[1:02:16 – 1:02:17] Erik: I can pull mine up.
[1:02:17 – 1:02:18] Erik: I’ll look it up.
[1:02:18 – 1:02:19] Adam: But I’m sure you were 10 degrees.
[1:02:19 – 1:02:20] Adam: You had power this whole time?
[1:02:21 – 1:02:21] Erik: This whole time.
[1:02:23 – 1:02:24] Adam: Could have run an extension cord up the hill.
[1:02:25 – 1:02:28] Erik: I could have pitched it to you from across the river.
[1:02:29 – 1:02:32] Adam: We did get a battery backup for the Wi-Fi for the broadband.
[1:02:32 – 1:02:38] Adam: So we did for most of the day on Monday, Natalie still had Wi-Fi working.
[1:02:39 – 1:02:42] Adam: Actually, I got home and it was still working for like five more minutes.
[1:02:43 – 1:02:45] Adam: And the battery backup thing started to beep.
[1:02:45 – 1:02:46] Adam: Like, hey, I’m low on battery.
[1:02:47 – 1:02:48] Adam: Yeah, shut up.
[1:02:48 – 1:02:48] Adam: We know.
[1:02:48 – 1:02:51] Adam: Quit wasting all your power on beeping.
[1:02:51 – 1:02:51] Adam: Yeah.
[1:02:51 – 1:02:55] Adam: We could have had three more minutes of internet to look at the Instagram picture app.
[1:02:55 – 1:02:57] Adam: Could have looked at a lot more boat pictures then.
[1:02:57 – 1:02:58] Adam: Yeah.
[1:02:59 – 1:03:02] Adam: But, yeah, I don’t know.
[1:03:02 – 1:03:04] Adam: So, I mean, you know, the mini fridge isn’t heated.
[1:03:04 – 1:03:05] Adam: It’s just a mini fridge.
[1:03:06 – 1:03:07] Adam: So, we do our best.
[1:03:07 – 1:03:09] Adam: We do our best.
[1:03:09 – 1:03:16] Adam: It is a reminder, a seasonal reminder that this time of year we always need to, like, take what’s remaining in the art supplies depot and…
[1:03:17 – 1:03:20] Adam: get it out of the shed into a more climate controlled environment.
[1:03:20 – 1:03:20] Adam: Yeah.
[1:03:21 – 1:03:23] Adam: And then we got to be a little more careful with it going forward.
[1:03:23 – 1:03:31] Adam: Cause I think, especially next week I was watching Ryan Hall y’all and it looks like after we might get some snow like Tuesday, Wednesday next week.
[1:03:31 – 1:03:34] Adam: And then, so like a couple of days after this episode comes out,
[1:03:35 – 1:03:40] Adam: Pretty good chance of snow up here, and then the bottom’s supposed to drop out, and I think we’re supposed to get some pretty cold weather after that.
[1:03:40 – 1:03:42] Adam: What do you call it?
[1:03:43 – 1:03:44] Adam: The jet stream’s going to dip low.
[1:03:44 – 1:03:45] Adam: I’m all for it.
[1:03:45 – 1:03:48] Adam: Arctic air is going to flow in behind it, and we’ll be ice fishing by Thanksgiving, buddy.
[1:03:49 – 1:03:57] Erik: Yeah, I’m taking the long way over to, speaking of the Keweenaw Peninsula, we flew right over it.
[1:03:57 – 1:04:07] Erik: I’m going to be over in Joe Pera’s neck of the woods, hopefully getting back just before that nasty little storm that looks like it might whip up.
[1:04:07 – 1:04:09] Erik: You’ll beat it.
[1:04:09 – 1:04:11] Erik: We’ll be back by Monday midday.
[1:04:11 – 1:04:18] Erik: It looks like Tuesday might be the start of transitioning from some rain into actual snow.
[1:04:18 – 1:04:21] Adam: Can you bring me back some rocks from the UP, Gene?
[1:04:22 – 1:04:22] Erik: I sure can.
[1:04:23 – 1:04:26] Adam: Contemplating my future move to Ontario.
[1:04:26 – 1:04:27] Adam: Looks over shoulder.
[1:04:30 – 1:04:31] Adam: I got to watch some Joe Pera.
[1:04:31 – 1:04:33] Erik: Yeah, I feel like it’s probably about due.
[1:04:33 – 1:04:35] Erik: We check back in with Joe.
[1:04:35 – 1:04:42] Adam: It’s like you got to watch over the garden wall around this time of year, and then once you’re done with that, then you got to jump right back into Joe Pera episode one.
[1:04:42 – 1:04:42] Erik: Yeah.
[1:04:42 – 1:04:44] Erik: I was going to start at episode one.
[1:04:44 – 1:04:45] Erik: You can’t just jump back in.
[1:04:45 – 1:04:47] Adam: I’m not going to the grocery store episode right away.
[1:04:47 – 1:04:49] Adam: I want to, but I’m not going to.
[1:04:49 – 1:04:49] Erik: Yeah.
[1:04:51 – 1:04:54] Erik: Energy on Cube 7201.
[1:04:55 – 1:04:56] Erik: Welcome to Tumble Home.
[1:04:56 – 1:04:56] Erik: Welcome.
[1:04:57 – 1:04:57] Erik: After dark.
[1:04:58 – 1:04:58] UNKNOWN: Yeah.
[1:05:00 – 1:05:06] Erik: I’m almost done with my first wood strip canoe that I’ll be taking into the BWCA next season.
[1:05:06 – 1:05:07] Erik: Woodcore.
[1:05:07 – 1:05:09] Erik: It’s all about the woodcore, these guys.
[1:05:09 – 1:05:15] Erik: I’ve always been using a combination of books, canoe craft, and building a strip canoe.
[1:05:17 – 1:05:21] Erik: Oh, I believe the book is Canoe Craft and Building a Strip Canoe.
[1:05:21 – 1:05:23] Erik: I thought he was building a canoe out of books.
[1:05:23 – 1:05:24] Adam: Oh, wow.
[1:05:24 – 1:05:27] Adam: Like a whole set of encyclopedias.
[1:05:27 – 1:05:28] Erik: Lots of epoxy.
[1:05:29 – 1:05:30] Adam: It’s laminated.
[1:05:30 – 1:05:33] Adam: It’s like a floating pinata of knowledge.
[1:05:36 – 1:05:37] Erik: Watch out.
[1:05:37 – 1:05:38] Erik: How are there bugs in here?
[1:05:38 – 1:05:39] Erik: I just inhaled a bug.
[1:05:40 – 1:05:40] Erik: Come on.
[1:05:40 – 1:05:42] Adam: The world works in mysterious ways, Eric.
[1:05:42 – 1:05:43] Erik: Bring it on.
[1:05:43 – 1:05:44] Erik: Let the bottom drop out.
[1:05:44 – 1:05:47] Erik: There’s only damn reason to be around up here after it gets…
[1:05:48 – 1:05:50] Adam: I want to go ice fishing and I want to ski.
[1:05:51 – 1:05:54] Erik: Freeze these SOBs out of here.
[1:05:54 – 1:05:55] Adam: Maybe they’re from the Caribbean.
[1:05:56 – 1:05:57] Adam: Who knows?
[1:05:57 – 1:05:58] Adam: We opened that box.
[1:05:58 – 1:06:01] Adam: This is like that episode of X-Files when they’re up in the cabin.
[1:06:01 – 1:06:02] Adam: Yeah.
[1:06:02 – 1:06:05] Adam: And the bugs with the goo are coming out of the walls.
[1:06:05 – 1:06:09] Erik: Yeah, I just inhaled a sand fly from Frederick’s town.
[1:06:09 – 1:06:10] Adam: I don’t know, Sully.
[1:06:10 – 1:06:12] Adam: McManus said this is bad news.
[1:06:13 – 1:06:13] Adam: Wow.
[1:06:14 – 1:06:15] Adam: What about Spinny?
[1:06:15 – 1:06:18] Adam: Spinny, he was crazier than a loon.
[1:06:18 – 1:06:21] Erik: We’ve known that this whole time.
[1:06:22 – 1:06:26] Erik: About to fiberglass the inner hull in the next week or so, once I’ve got a free day.
[1:06:27 – 1:06:30] Erik: It’s been a lot of fun so far, and I’m very excited for the maiden voyage.
[1:06:33 – 1:06:34] Adam: That’s it.
[1:06:35 – 1:06:36] Erik: So are we.
[1:06:36 – 1:06:38] Erik: So are we.
[1:06:38 – 1:06:40] Erik: I should probably read this next one.
[1:06:40 – 1:06:47] Erik: This is the gentle person that I am currently going head to head with in the Tumble Liga.
[1:06:49 – 1:06:49] Erik: Oh, no.
[1:06:49 – 1:06:51] Erik: Last I checked, I was up by a few.
[1:06:51 – 1:06:52] Erik: I don’t know.
[1:06:52 – 1:06:53] Erik: It’s going to be a tight race.
[1:06:54 – 1:06:54] Erik: We’ll see.
[1:06:55 – 1:06:56] Erik: We’ll let them.
[1:06:56 – 1:06:58] Adam: Your team is pretty dominant so far this season.
[1:06:59 – 1:07:00] Erik: Yeah, I don’t even have Austin.
[1:07:00 – 1:07:01] Erik: I just left him in.
[1:07:01 – 1:07:02] Erik: He’s out this whole week.
[1:07:02 – 1:07:04] Adam: I was like pleading with you.
[1:07:04 – 1:07:05] Adam: Just make a move.
[1:07:05 – 1:07:06] Adam: I was like, I don’t know.
[1:07:06 – 1:07:06] Adam: He’ll be back.
[1:07:06 – 1:07:07] Erik: He might be back.
[1:07:07 – 1:07:09] Adam: I’m winning right now, and he’s not playing.
[1:07:09 – 1:07:10] Adam: He’s still not back.
[1:07:10 – 1:07:12] Erik: And then I got one goal from Tage Thompson.
[1:07:12 – 1:07:14] Erik: He immediately got injured.
[1:07:14 – 1:07:15] Erik: Now he’s out for the week.
[1:07:15 – 1:07:17] Erik: So I don’t have either of my centers.
[1:07:17 – 1:07:17] Adam: Playing two down?
[1:07:18 – 1:07:18] Adam: Yeah.
[1:07:18 – 1:07:19] Adam: Both your centers.
[1:07:19 – 1:07:23] Erik: And I’m still projected to only lose by a couple.
[1:07:23 – 1:07:24] Erik: That’s suboptimal.
[1:07:25 – 1:07:26] Erik: It is, but you know.
[1:07:26 – 1:07:27] Adam: Because he got still ours, though.
[1:07:28 – 1:07:28] Erik: Yeah.
[1:07:30 – 1:07:31] Erik: He kind of got smoked.
[1:07:31 – 1:07:32] Erik: Nah, he didn’t get smoked.
[1:07:32 – 1:07:32] Erik: He lost.
[1:07:32 – 1:07:34] Erik: A lot of shots on goal.
[1:07:34 – 1:07:35] Adam: A lot of saves.
[1:07:35 – 1:07:36] Erik: Could you imagine going to that game?
[1:07:37 – 1:07:38] Erik: The Leafs don’t score a goal.
[1:07:38 – 1:07:39] Erik: You don’t even get to cheer once.
[1:07:40 – 1:07:41] Adam: Yeah, that would be awful.
[1:07:41 – 1:07:42] Erik: That would be so sad.
[1:07:42 – 1:07:48] Adam: Well, that would be sad, but that would be impossible with our vibes in the 300s.
[1:07:48 – 1:07:48] Adam: Right.
[1:07:50 – 1:07:51] Erik: Frere, underscore.
[1:07:51 – 1:07:53] Adam: I dare you to keep us off the Jumbotron.
[1:07:53 – 1:07:54] Erik: No.
[1:07:54 – 1:08:08] Erik: The camera wasn’t sniffing around, and I think they noticed the vibes that we were carrying, but I think maybe we were just a little too on-setted to get fully jacked for the fact that somebody was jamming a camera in our faces.
[1:08:08 – 1:08:10] Adam: I think our mustaches were too hot for that Jumbotron.
[1:08:10 – 1:08:16] Adam: We were surrounded by a bunch of people going, put us on the Jumbotron, I don’t care.
[1:08:16 – 1:08:18] Erik: And we’re just like, mmm.
[1:08:18 – 1:08:20] Erik: We were just doing the Jonah Hill meme.
[1:08:20 – 1:08:21] Erik: Nah.
[1:08:21 – 1:08:22] Erik: Get.
[1:08:22 – 1:08:23] Erik: Nah.
[1:08:24 – 1:08:31] Erik: Even though subsequently we came up with like 10 amazing ideas for the next time we go back with signage.
[1:08:31 – 1:08:32] Adam: Oh, yeah.
[1:08:32 – 1:08:33] Adam: We’re in our era.
[1:08:34 – 1:08:34] Erik: Yeah.
[1:08:34 – 1:08:36] Erik: Well, that one might be a one and done.
[1:08:36 – 1:08:37] Erik: I don’t know if we could go back.
[1:08:37 – 1:08:40] Erik: We’d have to time it with the Taylor Swift concert like this last one.
[1:08:42 – 1:08:45] Erik: Anyway, Frere Jacuzzi 22 days ago.
[1:08:48 – 1:08:52] Erik: I’ve got an older white Winona Prism tough weave, but used.
[1:08:53 – 1:08:57] Erik: I like that it can take a bit more contact, a bit more augering.
[1:08:57 – 1:08:58] Erik: Yep, right on the rocks.
[1:08:58 – 1:09:03] Erik: Than a Kevlar, though it definitely makes me earn it at 42 pounds dry.
[1:09:03 – 1:09:07] Erik: It has a custom-fitted green CCS rain cover that I love.
[1:09:07 – 1:09:08] Erik: Wow.
[1:09:08 – 1:09:09] Erik: That is kind of nice.
[1:09:09 – 1:09:10] Erik: That’s cool, CCS.
[1:09:10 – 1:09:13] Erik: Like a spray cover for running the God’s River.
[1:09:13 – 1:09:14] Adam: There you go.
[1:09:16 – 1:09:19] Erik: It really has expanded my ability to paddle in the shoulder seasons comfortably.
[1:09:19 – 1:09:27] Erik: It’s a fast boat, tracks nicely, perfect given that my preferred style of trekking can often involve 18 plus mile days.
[1:09:28 – 1:09:31] Erik: It’s named Brumaire.
[1:09:32 – 1:09:33] Erik: Brumaire.
[1:09:33 – 1:09:35] Erik: For the month in the calendar…
[1:09:36 – 1:09:36] Erik: Oh, boy.
[1:09:36 – 1:09:37] Erik: Here we go.
[1:09:37 – 1:09:39] Erik: I got to get a little closer here.
[1:09:39 – 1:09:40] Erik: Squint and look.
[1:09:40 – 1:09:52] Erik: It’s named Brumaire for the month in the Calandrier Republicane of the French Revolution that corresponds to mid-October to mid-November.
[1:09:53 – 1:09:53] Adam: Late season boat.
[1:09:54 – 1:09:57] Erik: The name is derived from the French word for mist.
[1:09:57 – 1:09:58] Adam: Sheesh.
[1:09:58 – 1:10:01] Erik: Which the boat’s color evokes.
[1:10:02 – 1:10:08] Erik: And I enjoy that it also alludes to Marx’s 18th Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte.
[1:10:09 – 1:10:11] Adam: We all do better when we all do better.
[1:10:11 – 1:10:14] Erik: Yeah, I think that’s the gist of that.
[1:10:14 – 1:10:15] Erik: Marx.
[1:10:15 – 1:10:16] Erik: Shout out.
[1:10:17 – 1:10:19] Adam: You out there listening, Carl.
[1:10:20 – 1:10:22] Adam: She’s a Marxist.
[1:10:22 – 1:10:25] Erik: I will need to do some maintenance on it this winter to address a couple of cracks.
[1:10:25 – 1:10:33] Erik: I’m also researching if there’s some way I can get a mount for my wildlife camera so that I can do some video.
[1:10:33 – 1:10:34] Adam: 3D print it.
[1:10:34 – 1:10:35] Adam: Yeah, just 3D print it.
[1:10:35 – 1:10:37] Adam: Get a 3D printer on that thing.
[1:10:37 – 1:10:41] Erik: Everybody has a buddy of a buddy, at least a buddy of a buddy who’s into 3D printing.
[1:10:42 – 1:10:43] Adam: It’s going to be real big.
[1:10:43 – 1:10:45] Adam: Yeah.
[1:10:46 – 1:10:48] Adam: Shoulder season or shoulder season?
[1:10:48 – 1:10:51] Adam: Like you’re ripping that tough weave onto some shoals?
[1:10:51 – 1:10:52] Adam: Are you hogging this boat?
[1:10:53 – 1:10:53] Erik: I don’t know.
[1:10:54 – 1:10:55] Adam: That boat cannot be hogged.
[1:10:55 – 1:10:57] Adam: You can’t hog a prism.
[1:10:57 – 1:10:58] Erik: You can’t hog a prism.
[1:10:58 – 1:10:59] Erik: It’s not a tough weave.
[1:10:59 – 1:11:01] Adam: The shoal will get prismed.
[1:11:01 – 1:11:03] Adam: Yeah, you’ll hog the shoal.
[1:11:04 – 1:11:05] Erik: That shoal’s hurting.
[1:11:06 – 1:11:07] Adam: Reverse hog.
[1:11:07 – 1:11:09] Erik: Oh, that boat just cracked me.
[1:11:10 – 1:11:12] Erik: Yeah, I mean, that’s an incredible name for a boat.
[1:11:12 – 1:11:13] Erik: I love the story behind it.
[1:11:13 – 1:11:13] Erik: Yeah, that’s great.
[1:11:16 – 1:11:17] Erik: The French word for mist.
[1:11:18 – 1:11:18] Erik: Bromear.
[1:11:18 – 1:11:19] Erik: Bromear.
[1:11:20 – 1:11:23] Erik: We got you queued up here with your next one.
[1:11:23 – 1:11:30] Adam: I got to learn French before I can get admitted to the University of Manitoba for my master’s in podcasting.
[1:11:30 – 1:11:32] Erik: Start reading some Marx this winter?
[1:11:32 – 1:11:32] Erik: Yeah.
[1:11:34 – 1:11:39] Adam: I’ll get to that right after I finish my shipwreck series.
[1:11:42 – 1:11:48] Adam: Currently reading, I don’t think this is going to be an episode, but Making the Carry by Timothy Cochran.
[1:11:50 – 1:11:56] Adam: About a couple that met and lived amongst the canoe country their whole lives.
[1:11:57 – 1:12:08] Adam: First story is about how the wife as a child had paddled out to Manang with her grandma in a birch bark canoe.
[1:12:09 – 1:12:09] Erik: Wow.
[1:12:09 – 1:12:10] Adam: Can you imagine?
[1:12:11 – 1:12:11] Adam: Yeah.
[1:12:11 – 1:12:13] Adam: I wouldn’t want to take any of these boats.
[1:12:13 – 1:12:15] Adam: I love all these boats in this episode and the previous episode.
[1:12:15 – 1:12:18] Adam: I wouldn’t want to take any of these boats out to Isle Royale.
[1:12:18 – 1:12:19] Erik: No.
[1:12:20 – 1:12:20] Adam: Even with my grandma.
[1:12:22 – 1:12:24] Adam: But they just did that back in the day.
[1:12:24 – 1:12:29] Erik: From the Canadian side or the tip of the Minnesota side is the closest point.
[1:12:30 – 1:12:33] Erik: Still not that close, but the closest point.
[1:12:34 – 1:12:35] Adam: That’s crazy.
[1:12:35 – 1:12:36] Adam: Makes me queasy.
[1:12:38 – 1:12:40] Adam: So far, a lot of detail in that book, but pretty good.
[1:12:41 – 1:12:45] Adam: Next up on the show, Winona Ryder, dear friend of the show.
[1:12:46 – 1:12:48] Adam: 22 days ago with five boxes of wine.
[1:12:49 – 1:12:50] Adam: The Winona Champagne.
[1:12:50 – 1:12:51] Adam: Another one.
[1:12:51 – 1:12:52] Erik: Oh, no.
[1:12:52 – 1:12:53] Adam: Two champagnes.
[1:12:54 – 1:12:56] Adam: I’ve already… Now we’re tied up.
[1:12:56 – 1:12:59] Adam: Two mentions of champagnes and two mentions of oiled gunnels.
[1:13:00 – 1:13:01] Adam: Yeah, and… Two to two.
[1:13:01 – 1:13:05] Erik: I think you’ve gotten all of the Alumacraft mentions as well.
[1:13:05 – 1:13:05] Erik: Somehow.
[1:13:05 – 1:13:06] Adam: Yeah, somehow.
[1:13:06 – 1:13:07] Adam: That keeps happening.
[1:13:08 – 1:13:09] Erik: I got the Lamoille, though.
[1:13:09 – 1:13:10] Adam: He did get the Lamoille.
[1:13:11 – 1:13:14] Adam: Winona Champlain, big people, big loads, or big water.
[1:13:14 – 1:13:21] Adam: Winona says, if your requirements include any two of those three things, then the champ is the boat for you.
[1:13:21 – 1:13:23] Adam: And we found it to be true.
[1:13:23 – 1:13:26] Adam: She’s built deep in the bow, so we seldom take on water.
[1:13:27 – 1:13:30] Adam: And she’s wide through the midsection, so she’s very stable.
[1:13:31 – 1:13:35] Adam: We’ve been in some pretty heavy seas on Brule and Clearwater, and she’s done great.
[1:13:36 – 1:13:43] Adam: When not in the park, we use it on the Ohio River, and the big girl does very well versus barge and powerboat wakes, no doubt.
[1:13:44 – 1:13:45] Erik: Wow, barge wake.
[1:13:45 – 1:13:48] Adam: Barge wakes.
[1:13:49 – 1:13:50] Adam: I love barge wakes.
[1:13:51 – 1:13:53] Adam: Swift, she is not.
[1:13:53 – 1:13:55] Adam: Graceful, no.
[1:13:56 – 1:13:57] Adam: She moves through the water like a log.
[1:13:58 – 1:14:06] Adam: 46 pounds Kevlar layup, so easy to pick up and carry, but on tight trails, I sometimes need spotters, like those trucks that move houses.
[1:14:07 – 1:14:07] Adam: Yeah.
[1:14:08 – 1:14:11] Adam: To make sure I don’t wedge myself in somewhere I can’t get out of.
[1:14:12 – 1:14:14] Adam: Now we’re getting augured and wedged.
[1:14:14 – 1:14:15] Adam: Oh, Jesus.
[1:14:16 – 1:14:20] Adam: Ex-Paragus rental mule purchased after the 2019 season.
[1:14:21 – 1:14:22] Adam: All right, don’t wedger.
[1:14:23 – 1:14:25] Adam: Yeah, that’s a great write-up there.
[1:14:26 – 1:14:27] Erik: It is very nice, actually.
[1:14:27 – 1:14:28] Adam: We have a second boat.
[1:14:29 – 1:14:29] Adam: Oh.
[1:14:29 – 1:14:31] Adam: Sir, there’s the second boat.
[1:14:31 – 1:14:31] Adam: Oh, no.
[1:14:32 – 1:14:37] Adam: Second boat is circa 1998 Old Town Penobscot in Royal X.
[1:14:37 – 1:14:40] Adam: We use for rocky small rivers and creeks.
[1:14:40 – 1:14:49] Adam: Round bottom, so feels kind of squirrely after the Champlain, but actually has excellent secondary stability and is nearly bulletproof.
[1:14:49 – 1:14:50] Adam: What is secondary stability?
[1:14:52 – 1:14:52] Adam: Thank you for the comment.
[1:14:54 – 1:15:17] Adam: um i don’t know like the original stability is just your kind of stability for like you know paddling but then secondary stability is when you’re like up and moving around in the boat you’re really rocking it i don’t know if it’s a directional thing or is it uh i’m not sure what secondary stability is and i’m not ashamed to admit it i don’t know um i don’t want to act like i know
[1:15:18 – 1:15:23] Adam: You guys named your podcast Tumble Home and you don’t know what secondary stability is?
[1:15:24 – 1:15:25] Erik: Unsubscribe.
[1:15:25 – 1:15:26] Erik: Ah, these guys.
[1:15:27 – 1:15:34] Erik: Well, maybe I’m not planning on building any cedar strip canoes, but maybe I will read the book just to learn about it.
[1:15:34 – 1:15:37] Adam: Find out about the different kinds of, how many different levels of stability are.
[1:15:37 – 1:15:38] Erik: Yeah, is there tertiary?
[1:15:39 – 1:15:46] Adam: I just found out there’s like 15 levels of consciousness or dimensions, however you want to put that, apparently.
[1:15:47 – 1:15:47] Adam: Yeah.
[1:15:47 – 1:15:49] Adam: Apparently I’m only in tune to three of those.
[1:15:50 – 1:15:51] Adam: How many layers of hell are there?
[1:15:51 – 1:15:52] Erik: I don’t know.
[1:15:52 – 1:15:53] Adam: How many stabilities?
[1:15:53 – 1:15:54] Adam: According to Dante.
[1:15:55 – 1:15:55] Adam: How many cores?
[1:15:55 – 1:15:56] Adam: If you believe him.
[1:15:58 – 1:15:58] Adam: What?
[1:16:01 – 1:16:02] Adam: Dante or Marks.
[1:16:03 – 1:16:04] Adam: Next up on the show.
[1:16:04 – 1:16:04] Adam: Take a pick.
[1:16:05 – 1:16:08] Adam: Strange Brew 0105.
[1:16:08 – 1:16:10] Adam: 17 days ago with four boxes of wine.
[1:16:11 – 1:16:15] Adam: We got a 2007 Winona Boundary Waters Tough Weave.
[1:16:16 – 1:16:17] Adam: Red colored.
[1:16:18 – 1:16:18] Adam: There we go.
[1:16:18 – 1:16:18] Adam: Yes.
[1:16:41 – 1:16:47] Adam: The tail end of the canoe has dropped and slammed into the garage floor on a couple of occasions with no damage to the canoe.
[1:16:48 – 1:16:49] Adam: That’s a tough weave.
[1:16:49 – 1:16:51] Adam: Further testament to its durability.
[1:16:52 – 1:16:53] Adam: Huzzah, huzzah.
[1:16:53 – 1:16:54] Adam: I added the huzzahs.
[1:16:54 – 1:16:56] Adam: Thank you for the comment.
[1:16:56 – 1:16:56] Adam: Strange brew.
[1:16:58 – 1:17:00] Adam: I’ve never been in a Boundary Waters either.
[1:17:00 – 1:17:01] Erik: You’ve never been in one?
[1:17:02 – 1:17:05] Erik: They got the like… Yeah, I see what you’re doing.
[1:17:05 – 1:17:07] Adam: The angled bow and stern.
[1:17:07 – 1:17:09] Erik: Kind of like the little upward flare thing.
[1:17:09 – 1:17:12] Adam: Whereas the Min 2 here is very squared off.
[1:17:13 – 1:17:17] Adam: Looks more like a Great Lakes freighter as opposed to a speedboat.
[1:17:18 – 1:17:20] Adam: I never thought of them as being a heavy looking boat.
[1:17:20 – 1:17:22] Adam: They look like they’re a little smaller than a Min 2, are they not?
[1:17:23 – 1:17:25] Erik: They’re definitely shorter, yeah.
[1:17:25 – 1:17:26] Adam: They’re wider then?
[1:17:26 – 1:17:27] Adam: Definitely wider.
[1:17:27 – 1:17:28] Adam: Okay, so it’s like a Champlain.
[1:17:30 – 1:17:30] Erik: I don’t know.
[1:17:30 – 1:17:31] Erik: It’s kind of like a mix between.
[1:17:31 – 1:17:32] Erik: Faster Champlain.
[1:17:32 – 1:17:35] Erik: Yeah, it’s like a mix between like a, I don’t know.
[1:17:35 – 1:17:44] Erik: There’s not too many canoes, at least in the Winona fleet, that have kind of that flared up nose like the Boundary Waters do.
[1:17:44 – 1:17:45] Erik: Yeah.
[1:17:45 – 1:17:49] Erik: It’s kind of like, it’s just like a little, like a jazzier version of a Spirit too.
[1:17:50 – 1:17:51] Erik: A little wider in the middle.
[1:17:51 – 1:17:52] Adam: Jazzy in your spirit, too.
[1:17:53 – 1:17:53] Adam: Yeah.
[1:17:55 – 1:17:56] Adam: How many do we have to go here?
[1:17:56 – 1:17:58] Adam: I’m going to turn it over to you.
[1:17:58 – 1:18:00] Adam: We’re not towards the end, but we’re getting there.
[1:18:00 – 1:18:01] Adam: We’re not even close.
[1:18:01 – 1:18:02] Adam: We’re getting there.
[1:18:02 – 1:18:06] Adam: I thought maybe I could read one more and then turn it all the way over, but I think we’re going to have to pass it a few more times.
[1:18:06 – 1:18:11] Erik: Well, we might need to get a couple more in here and possibly take a break.
[1:18:11 – 1:18:12] Adam: Let’s just take a break right now.
[1:18:12 – 1:18:13] Erik: Okay.
[1:18:14 – 1:18:15] Adam: We’ll be right back after this.
[1:18:15 – 1:18:20] Erik: Yeah, we’ll be right back after these messages from Strythrensal.
[1:18:22 – 1:18:26] Adam: Long periods of organ failure, also known as corpse syndrome.
[1:18:27 – 1:18:28] Erik: Yeah, we’re back.
[1:18:30 – 1:18:31] Erik: We got Aldi 1.
[1:18:33 – 1:18:35] Erik: 17 days ago, edited 2 days ago.
[1:18:36 – 1:18:37] Erik: So hot right now.
[1:18:37 – 1:18:39] Erik: Edited to add words, see?
[1:18:40 – 1:18:41] Erik: Didn’t leave it a mystery.
[1:18:43 – 1:19:09] Erik: added some words bwca canoe rental of choice min two or three i have the need for speed yes personal kayak used outside of the park old town loon 120 you know this color yellow wow that’s a deep throwback to when i believe aldi one provided a in the field audio for us that’s right
[1:19:11 – 1:19:16] Erik: It’s one of those weird things that has always just stuck in my mind, the way he said color yellow.
[1:19:16 – 1:19:17] Erik: Color yellow.
[1:19:17 – 1:19:19] Erik: Paddle location, bow.
[1:19:19 – 1:19:20] Erik: I like the view.
[1:19:20 – 1:19:20] Erik: Yeah.
[1:19:21 – 1:19:21] Erik: Yeah.
[1:19:22 – 1:19:23] Erik: I never thought about that.
[1:19:23 – 1:19:26] Erik: It does a little bit of a nicer view up there, unobstructed.
[1:19:27 – 1:19:27] Adam: It’s the window seat.
[1:19:28 – 1:19:32] Adam: I feel like the master of the ship, even though it might not be up in the bow.
[1:19:32 – 1:19:34] Adam: I feel like a real McSorley up there.
[1:19:36 – 1:19:37] Adam: No, I take it back.
[1:19:39 – 1:19:43] Adam: I feel like a Bernie Cooper up there in the bow of the Arthur Anderson.
[1:19:43 – 1:19:44] Erik: Yeah, that sounds a little bit better.
[1:19:45 – 1:19:47] Adam: Color red with a black stripe.
[1:19:47 – 1:19:50] Erik: Color, rusts, and piece of shit.
[1:19:55 – 1:20:02] Erik: He likes to view, using the sides of the canoe to rust my legs, and being the navigator, and being responsible for rock duty.
[1:20:04 – 1:20:06] Adam: You’re doing stuff up there?
[1:20:06 – 1:20:07] Adam: Yeah.
[1:20:07 – 1:20:08] Adam: I don’t see anything.
[1:20:08 – 1:20:10] Adam: I got polarized glasses on.
[1:20:10 – 1:20:11] Adam: I can’t see nothing.
[1:20:11 – 1:20:12] Adam: I don’t have a map out.
[1:20:13 – 1:20:14] Adam: I’m just up there for the view.
[1:20:15 – 1:20:17] Adam: You’re taking on too much responsibility.
[1:20:17 – 1:20:18] Adam: You should pass off.
[1:20:18 – 1:20:21] Adam: You should delegate some of this responsibility to the first mate.
[1:20:21 – 1:20:22] Erik: You’re just gawking.
[1:20:23 – 1:20:23] Adam: That’s right.
[1:20:23 – 1:20:26] Erik: Question, fellow bow men.
[1:20:26 – 1:20:27] Erik: Yes.
[1:20:28 – 1:20:34] Erik: Do you call out the location of the rock, rock on the left, or do you say which direction to go to avoid the rock?
[1:20:34 – 1:20:35] Erik: Rock, go right.
[1:20:36 – 1:20:36] Erik: Rock, go right.
[1:20:37 – 1:20:37] Adam: No.
[1:20:37 – 1:20:40] Adam: You just say G or ha real loud.
[1:20:40 – 1:20:40] Erik: Yeah.
[1:20:42 – 1:20:48] Erik: It’s usually enough flailing and movement from you that I can pretty well pinpoint where the rock is at.
[1:20:48 – 1:20:56] Adam: And then, yeah, drive your paddle in sideways so you almost flip the boat anyways to avoid the rock, which wouldn’t have really done anything anyways.
[1:20:57 – 1:20:58] Adam: That’s my play.
[1:20:59 – 1:21:01] Adam: Jeez, I, like, slap at the water.
[1:21:01 – 1:21:02] Adam: Yeah.
[1:21:02 – 1:21:02] Adam: Gee.
[1:21:04 – 1:21:10] Erik: Yeah, and you do just jam the paddles directly into the rock, and the whole boat comes to a shuddering tilt.
[1:21:11 – 1:21:11] Erik: Yeah.
[1:21:12 – 1:21:13] Erik: We just sipped a little water there.
[1:21:13 – 1:21:17] Adam: My favorite is after it’s two feet past me, I just go, oh, my God.
[1:21:17 – 1:21:19] Adam: Oh, that was cool.
[1:21:20 – 1:21:21] Adam: Oh, that was a nasty boy.
[1:21:21 – 1:21:21] Adam: Yeah.
[1:21:24 – 1:21:26] Erik: There is a response here from Cheap Dancer.
[1:21:26 – 1:21:30] Erik: I have a dusty memory of an in-the-field report from your yellow boat.
[1:21:30 – 1:21:31] Erik: Yellow boat.
[1:21:31 – 1:21:34] Erik: Was it real or are my dendrites loosening?
[1:21:34 – 1:21:38] Erik: And then there’s another response from Aldi1.
[1:21:38 – 1:21:38] Erik: Good memory.
[1:21:39 – 1:21:40] Erik: Dendrites are firing.
[1:21:40 – 1:22:03] Erik: all firing oh i’m glad you’re in the flow state right now yeah you uh uh nootropics your nootropics are really red hot right nootropics are flowing dendrites are firing always keep it ladies and gentlemen keep a check on your dendrites before you uh call it a night tonight check it on yourself do you know where your dendrites are
[1:22:04 – 1:22:07] Adam: Breathe through the mouth and then out the nose.
[1:22:07 – 1:22:08] Adam: No, reverse that.
[1:22:09 – 1:22:09] Adam: Yeah.
[1:22:09 – 1:22:10] Adam: Like you’re blowing out a candle.
[1:22:12 – 1:22:14] Adam: Locate the center of your dendrites.
[1:22:15 – 1:22:17] Erik: Except you’re trying to breathe it in and take its life.
[1:22:18 – 1:22:18] Adam: Right.
[1:22:19 – 1:22:20] Adam: Consume the dendrites.
[1:22:20 – 1:22:20] Erik: Consume the fire.
[1:22:23 – 1:22:24] Erik: Yeah, but I think there’s enough.
[1:22:24 – 1:22:25] Erik: I’ll read another one here.
[1:22:25 – 1:22:25] Adam: Okay.
[1:22:25 – 1:22:25] Adam: Yeah.
[1:22:26 – 1:22:28] Erik: Friend of the show, 16 days ago.
[1:22:28 – 1:22:29] Erik: Not edited.
[1:22:29 – 1:22:30] Erik: He was happy.
[1:22:30 – 1:22:31] Erik: They were happy.
[1:22:33 – 1:22:33] Erik: Eagle98MN.
[1:22:33 – 1:22:34] Erik: Confident.
[1:22:37 – 1:22:40] Erik: This is going to be an episode that just makes me want to spend money.
[1:22:41 – 1:22:42] Adam: Yeah, it is.
[1:22:42 – 1:22:42] Adam: Yeah.
[1:22:43 – 1:22:44] Adam: I want to get some oil.
[1:22:47 – 1:22:50] Erik: I own the wrong boats at my current stage of life.
[1:22:51 – 1:22:53] Erik: Wow, that’s a sad sentence.
[1:22:53 – 1:22:53] Erik: It is.
[1:22:53 – 1:22:54] Erik: I’m sorry.
[1:22:54 – 1:22:59] Erik: I have two 14-foot kayaks, a Dagger Charleston, and Perception Monterey.
[1:23:01 – 1:23:02] Adam: I assume those are real kayaks.
[1:23:02 – 1:23:02] Erik: Yeah.
[1:23:03 – 1:23:04] Erik: It was a combination of words.
[1:23:04 – 1:23:05] Erik: That checks out.
[1:23:05 – 1:23:07] Erik: I bought them before my first trip to the B-Dub.
[1:23:08 – 1:23:17] Erik: Since then, a combination of young kids and a preference for the park unfortunately keeps them hanging in my garage from Fleet Farm pulleys more than floating.
[1:23:17 – 1:23:22] Adam: So now we have two champagnes, two oils, and two Fleet Farm pulleys.
[1:23:22 – 1:23:22] Erik: Yeah.
[1:23:22 – 1:23:24] Adam: We got a three-way tie.
[1:23:24 – 1:23:27] Erik: Two notoriously, apparently notoriously tricky…
[1:23:28 – 1:23:47] Erik: pulley systems if you drop the kayak on the garage floor i’m gonna be real upset yeah nonetheless they are fun to paddle from time to time and i do enjoy them when visiting the bwca i seek out a north wind 17 from my outfitters after using one that handled waves and wind like a champ on old conippy
[1:23:48 – 1:23:50] Erik: A number of years ago.
[1:23:50 – 1:23:52] Erik: Oh, nippy.
[1:23:52 – 1:23:59] Erik: In a perfect world, I would own one instead of the kayaks, but I’m holding the kayaks in case my kids want to use them as they get older.
[1:24:00 – 1:24:04] Erik: See, it’s one of the beauties of not having kids is I don’t have those thoughts.
[1:24:04 – 1:24:06] Erik: I just get rid of the stuff I don’t want.
[1:24:06 – 1:24:07] Erik: I’m not using it.
[1:24:07 – 1:24:07] Adam: Get rid of it.
[1:24:07 – 1:24:08] Adam: I don’t need it.
[1:24:08 – 1:24:09] Erik: I don’t know anybody that’ll ever want it.
[1:24:10 – 1:24:11] Adam: It’s a kayak.
[1:24:11 – 1:24:12] Adam: You’re probably not going to want it.
[1:24:12 – 1:24:13] Adam: Just get rid of it.
[1:24:13 – 1:24:14] Adam: Get the Northwind.
[1:24:14 – 1:24:15] Erik: Get the Northwind.
[1:24:16 – 1:24:17] Erik: YOLO.
[1:24:18 – 1:24:18] Adam: Yeah, I don’t know.
[1:24:18 – 1:24:23] Adam: I feel like it’s either that or, like, it’s retired people are like, you know what?
[1:24:23 – 1:24:24] Adam: I’m going to get into kayaking.
[1:24:25 – 1:24:26] Adam: And then they don’t.
[1:24:26 – 1:24:27] Adam: Yeah.
[1:24:27 – 1:24:28] Adam: And they just buy them and they sit there.
[1:24:29 – 1:24:31] Erik: Nobody ever really gets into kayaking, though, do they?
[1:24:33 – 1:24:33] Adam: Only for a little bit.
[1:24:34 – 1:24:36] Erik: I know one guy, he kind of got into it pretty hard, actually.
[1:24:38 – 1:24:45] Erik: Renting the canoe ends up being the best I can manage for now, so I’m grateful for the many outfitters for setting me up each year.
[1:24:46 – 1:24:49] Erik: Yeah, I mean, there’s a reason they exist.
[1:24:50 – 1:24:52] Erik: There’s nothing wrong with renting from an outfitter.
[1:24:52 – 1:24:54] Adam: Get yourself a modern skag lease one.
[1:24:55 – 1:24:55] Adam: Least a skag.
[1:24:56 – 1:24:57] Adam: Least skags.
[1:24:59 – 1:25:08] Adam: Next up on the show, dear friend of the show, all-around good feller, Gobi in my pants.
[1:25:08 – 1:25:08] Adam: 16 days ago.
[1:25:09 – 1:25:12] Adam: Edited 16 days ago with four boxes of wine.
[1:25:13 – 1:25:14] Erik: Immediately edited.
[1:25:15 – 1:25:18] Adam: I have an old Min 2 I got used from Hall & Oates.
[1:25:20 – 1:25:20] Adam: Ding.
[1:25:21 – 1:25:22] Adam: That was a perfect.
[1:25:22 – 1:25:23] Adam: Perfect ding.
[1:25:23 – 1:25:25] Adam: Hall and Oates has got a really good deal.
[1:25:25 – 1:25:28] Adam: That’s the Hall and Oates alert.
[1:25:28 – 1:25:30] Adam: I didn’t know this computer was set up like that.
[1:25:30 – 1:25:31] Adam: That’s great.
[1:25:32 – 1:25:33] Adam: It wasn’t in great shape when I got it.
[1:25:34 – 1:25:36] Adam: Looking like some khaki scouts took it down some rapids.
[1:25:37 – 1:25:45] Adam: It had a large puncture behind the bow of skid plate, a small puncture in the stern just above the waterline, and the gunnels are a bit bent out of shape.
[1:25:45 – 1:25:48] Adam: But I fixed her up, and she’s mine.
[1:25:48 – 1:25:55] Adam: I mounted a fish finder in the stern that shoots through the hull and replaced the tractor seats with the flat wooden seats.
[1:25:55 – 1:25:58] Adam: It doesn’t have a name, though, and I’m starting to think it needs one.
[1:25:59 – 1:26:05] Adam: However, after renting a second canoe this summer and getting to check out a Northstar B-17, ooh!
[1:26:09 – 1:26:10] Adam: I think that will be my next canoe.
[1:26:11 – 1:26:14] Adam: My boat is stored upside down on the ceiling of the garage.
[1:26:14 – 1:26:18] Adam: It just barely fits, and the garage door just barely slides underneath the canoe.
[1:26:19 – 1:26:23] Adam: Paddles, roof racks, and other odds and ends are stored in the canoe.
[1:26:23 – 1:26:34] Adam: Well, I mean, it sounds like that canoe is perfect for you and your garage, and I would recommend you hang on to the old Min 2 no matter what, but you can’t fault a feller for looking at a fancy new model.
[1:26:35 – 1:26:38] Erik: Yeah, you’re going to go from a Minnesota 2 to a Northwind 17.
[1:26:38 – 1:26:39] Erik: Interesting.
[1:26:40 – 1:26:41] Erik: I don’t know.
[1:26:41 – 1:26:42] Adam: It’s a little too short.
[1:26:43 – 1:26:43] Erik: Yeah, I don’t know.
[1:26:44 – 1:26:49] Erik: Once you go Min 2, I’ve never been drawn to anything else.
[1:26:49 – 1:26:52] Adam: Not like the Min 2, but to each their own.
[1:26:52 – 1:26:56] Erik: I do have the same need for speed that Aldi 1 has.
[1:26:56 – 1:26:58] Adam: I have the need for speed as well, Eric.
[1:26:59 – 1:27:04] Adam: I got the flat seats, but I also don’t mind the tractor seats.
[1:27:04 – 1:27:07] Adam: I don’t know that I’ve ever heard them referred to as the tractor seats.
[1:27:07 – 1:27:10] Adam: I guess I always called those the bucket seats, but they are definitely tractor seats.
[1:27:11 – 1:27:12] Erik: No, I hate the tractor seats.
[1:27:12 – 1:27:14] Adam: I don’t know if anybody likes them.
[1:27:14 – 1:27:15] Adam: Nobody likes them.
[1:27:15 – 1:27:19] Adam: I guess I don’t hate them, but I’ve never really done a long trip in the tractor seat boat.
[1:27:19 – 1:27:27] Erik: They get really hot, really sweaty, and the Crazy Creek chairs, if you’re into those, they don’t really work in those.
[1:27:27 – 1:27:29] Adam: Yeah, I get it.
[1:27:29 – 1:27:30] Adam: What were they thinking?
[1:27:30 – 1:27:35] Erik: They’re also kind of cold and weird in the morning, too.
[1:27:35 – 1:27:39] Adam: It’s the opposite of a previous commenter talking about how nice the wood feels.
[1:27:39 – 1:27:43] Adam: No matter if it’s too hot or too cold, the wood gunnels always feel nice.
[1:27:43 – 1:27:43] Erik: Yeah.
[1:27:43 – 1:27:45] Adam: No matter what, the tractor seats feel awful.
[1:27:46 – 1:27:46] Erik: They do.
[1:27:46 – 1:27:49] Erik: I mean, it’s just molded Kevlar.
[1:27:49 – 1:27:55] Erik: Essentially, it’s sitting in a Costco, the lunch area or whatever.
[1:27:55 – 1:27:55] Erik: Yeah.
[1:27:56 – 1:27:59] Erik: I feel like there’s little butt seats.
[1:27:59 – 1:28:00] Erik: Why are there umbrellas?
[1:28:01 – 1:28:02] Erik: It could never rain here.
[1:28:02 – 1:28:04] Adam: It shouldn’t.
[1:28:06 – 1:28:09] Adam: Next up on the show, the white pine.
[1:28:09 – 1:28:11] Adam: Eight days ago with four boxes of wine.
[1:28:13 – 1:28:13] Adam: Excuse me.
[1:28:14 – 1:28:18] Adam: I have several boats, but the one I want to shut out is my solo.
[1:28:19 – 1:28:24] Adam: The year I bought it, I wanted to do my first solo in May and then do a trip later with my normal group in August.
[1:28:25 – 1:28:34] Adam: As fate willed, a reasonably priced solo boat went on sale on the BWCA forums the very day I started looking for one to add to my arsenal.
[1:28:35 – 1:28:45] Adam: My solo is a 2011 Winona Advantage with wood gunwales and a bucket seat that I got from a certain butthead on the BWCA forums in 2022, who’s the butthead.
[1:28:49 – 1:28:56] Adam: From what I gathered, the boat was a tribute to a close friend that passed away and went by the username of Amok on the forums.
[1:28:57 – 1:29:06] Adam: Butthead put a quote on the boat that says, quote, to all those who have paddled on Amok, being a play on the username Amok.
[1:29:07 – 1:29:11] Adam: I took the boat for my first solo that May and had a blast.
[1:29:12 – 1:29:15] Adam: My normal group and I went in August and also had a great time.
[1:29:15 – 1:29:39] Adam: three months after that my tripping partner suddenly passed away at 41 he was my best friend best man in my wedding my neighbor and my wife’s brother i have no idea how the idea of that solo boat even fell into my mind that year it’s as if the universe knew i was going to need it now i have a tribute boat to my best man to all those who have paddled on wow
[1:29:40 – 1:29:41] Adam: Well, I got goosebumps.
[1:29:42 – 1:29:42] Adam: Yeah.
[1:29:42 – 1:29:43] Adam: Thank you for the comment.
[1:29:43 – 1:29:44] Erik: Yeah, thank you for that.
[1:29:44 – 1:29:53] Erik: And I do recognize both of those names from being a little bit more of a regular user of BWCA.com back in the day.
[1:29:56 – 1:30:05] Erik: I feel like this episode of boat chat has involved a lot of interesting connections.
[1:30:05 – 1:30:08] Erik: Boat connections more than the first episode did for sure.
[1:30:09 – 1:30:10] Adam: Boat dendrites.
[1:30:10 – 1:30:11] Erik: Yeah, they’re firing.
[1:30:12 – 1:30:13] Adam: Rapidly.
[1:30:14 – 1:30:20] Adam: I’m going to take one more and then I got a couple more for you, Eric, and that should do it for this evening’s episode.
[1:30:21 – 1:30:24] Adam: Next up on the show, talking boats here on Tumble Home.
[1:30:25 – 1:30:31] Adam: I’m in too deep two days ago with two boxes of wine.
[1:30:31 – 1:30:31] Adam: Two days ago?
[1:30:31 – 1:30:32] Adam: You got in.
[1:30:32 – 1:30:34] Adam: We got three comments here at the end, all from two days ago.
[1:30:34 – 1:30:35] Adam: Nice.
[1:30:35 – 1:30:36] Adam: Way to get in.
[1:30:37 – 1:30:38] Adam: My fleet…
[1:30:39 – 1:30:42] Adam: My fleet led by the SS Chuck Kennedy.
[1:30:42 – 1:30:45] Adam: The Chuck is an Old Town Disco 174.
[1:30:45 – 1:30:48] Adam: It’s heavy as hell, but takes no crap from the conditions.
[1:30:49 – 1:30:55] Adam: It was handed down to me from my dad’s legendary paddling friend, Chuck Kennedy, who is no longer with us.
[1:30:56 – 1:30:59] Adam: My second and third canoes are a pair of Solo Winona Advantages.
[1:31:00 – 1:31:01] Adam: Double Advantages.
[1:31:01 – 1:31:03] Adam: I love these speedy little boats.
[1:31:04 – 1:31:08] Adam: I took one of them on a memorable Boundary Waters journey this year and had a blast.
[1:31:09 – 1:31:11] Adam: My fourth canoe is a secondhand Min 2.
[1:31:12 – 1:31:17] Adam: It is my craft of choice on my lake trout expeditions to the Boundary Waters and my favorite canoe.
[1:31:18 – 1:31:22] Adam: I have yet to name her, but she’s my baby.
[1:31:23 – 1:31:24] Adam: What about just baby?
[1:31:24 – 1:31:25] Erik: Baby.
[1:31:27 – 1:31:30] Adam: That’s a pretty impressive quiver you got there.
[1:31:32 – 1:31:36] Adam: And I appreciate that the Min 2 is your favorite.
[1:31:36 – 1:31:38] Adam: But that’s now two advantages.
[1:31:39 – 1:31:40] Adam: That’s true, yeah.
[1:31:41 – 1:31:44] Adam: Two oils, two champagnes.
[1:31:45 – 1:31:49] Erik: Yeah, got a lot of work to do on the wiki page.
[1:31:49 – 1:31:50] Adam: We got two comments left to go.
[1:31:50 – 1:31:53] Adam: Will any of these tiebreakers be tiebreaked?
[1:31:54 – 1:31:54] Erik: I don’t know.
[1:31:55 – 1:31:55] Erik: We’re going to find out.
[1:31:55 – 1:32:00] Erik: Two seemingly new responders.
[1:32:01 – 1:32:04] Erik: HappyRock616 says,
[1:32:06 – 1:32:07] Erik: Pew, pew, pew.
[1:32:08 – 1:32:09] Erik: Pew, pew, pew?
[1:32:09 – 1:32:10] Erik: Question mark?
[1:32:11 – 1:32:12] Erik: Never question mark.
[1:32:12 – 1:32:14] Erik: Always exclamation point.
[1:32:14 – 1:32:18] Erik: Go to and Pride and Joy is a Sawyer shockwave.
[1:32:19 – 1:32:20] Erik: Shockwaves.
[1:32:21 – 1:32:22] Erik: Last one made in 2011.
[1:32:23 – 1:32:25] Erik: It’s kind of like a Pontiac vibe.
[1:32:26 – 1:32:27] Adam: It’s just like that.
[1:32:28 – 1:32:29] Erik: Also made in Fremont.
[1:32:29 – 1:32:48] Erik: yeah expedition kevlar layup ash gunnels portage yoke reversible seat and blasphemous rudder blasphemous rudder yeah follow-up is a sawyer loon custom kruger style seat is that like a hockey mask reference
[1:32:49 – 1:32:49] Erik: I don’t know.
[1:32:49 – 1:32:51] Erik: I don’t know what a Kruger-style seat is.
[1:32:51 – 1:32:53] Adam: It’s like a reverse tractor seat.
[1:32:53 – 1:32:54] Adam: It bends up.
[1:32:55 – 1:32:57] Erik: I wouldn’t want a reverse tractor seat.
[1:32:57 – 1:32:59] Adam: I don’t know, people with inside-out butts.
[1:33:01 – 1:33:03] Adam: It’s a Kruger seat.
[1:33:04 – 1:33:06] Adam: It’s going to be from the Hockey Hall of Fame.
[1:33:06 – 1:33:06] Adam: That’s what I’m going to say.
[1:33:08 – 1:33:15] Erik: The only kind of Kruger-style seats that I’m seeing are like wicker, like a sturdy wicker kind of a…
[1:33:16 – 1:33:42] Erik: like this kind of a seat oh okay oh so it’s like an inset like you’re lounging on a porch yeah surrounded by like willows in the swamps of louisiana sipping on a mint julep i’ll have another mint and julep i’ll have another maybe that’s it maybe it’s completely something else but that’s the first response i got that’s a hell of a seat buddy what is that a kruger
[1:33:45 – 1:34:11] Erik: carbon seat mod with fiberglass reinforced combing combing wow we got a thing or two to learn at episode 272 the vocabulary at tumble home just keeps expanding uh it’s incredible i don’t know if they’re if they’re expanding so much as they’re just shooting through my brain and then like going off into the the dendrites aren’t grabbing onto a lot of these terms i don’t feel
[1:34:12 – 1:34:13] Adam: They’re in there somewhere.
[1:34:13 – 1:34:16] Erik: I think combing’s probably going to be forgotten.
[1:34:17 – 1:34:18] Erik: And it’s not with a B either.
[1:34:18 – 1:34:22] Erik: It’s C-O-A-M-I-N-G. Oh.
[1:34:23 – 1:34:23] Erik: My.
[1:34:24 – 1:34:24] Erik: My.
[1:34:24 – 1:34:25] Erik: Yes.
[1:34:26 – 1:34:31] Erik: Gelcoat redux on deck and hull for angry rocks.
[1:34:33 – 1:34:35] Erik: Lastly, we’ve got a bastard Mohawk.
[1:34:35 – 1:34:39] Erik: Canoes made fiberglass Jensen 2 tandem.
[1:34:39 – 1:34:40] Erik: Jensen.
[1:34:40 – 1:34:41] Erik: First shout out to Jensen.
[1:34:42 – 1:34:42] Erik: Finally.
[1:34:44 – 1:34:55] Erik: Super fast in the water, super not fun to carry, and you stare at wind whipped ripples like you’re about to reenact the big fit sinking due to the itty bitty freeboard.
[1:34:56 – 1:34:57] Adam: Not enough freeboard.
[1:34:57 – 1:34:58] Adam: More freeboard.
[1:34:58 – 1:34:59] Adam: Too much time.
[1:35:00 – 1:35:02] Adam: Jensen, was that the 49 weave?
[1:35:02 – 1:35:04] Adam: You got to add two inches.
[1:35:04 – 1:35:04] Adam: Yeah.
[1:35:05 – 1:35:07] Adam: They shouldn’t have added all that extra ore. Yeah.
[1:35:07 – 1:35:09] Erik: But the foot braces and seats are nice.
[1:35:09 – 1:35:10] Erik: So there’s that.
[1:35:10 – 1:35:11] Erik: Also, it’s fast.
[1:35:12 – 1:35:12] Erik: And yellow.
[1:35:13 – 1:35:14] Adam: Got the need for speed.
[1:35:14 – 1:35:15] Adam: And it’s yellow.
[1:35:15 – 1:35:15] Adam: Yellow boats.
[1:35:15 – 1:35:16] Erik: Color yellow.
[1:35:18 – 1:35:18] Erik: Foot braces.
[1:35:19 – 1:35:19] Erik: Yeah.
[1:35:19 – 1:35:26] Erik: Do you ever, uh, you’ve sat in the back of the, I mean, this thing’s technically got foot braces, doesn’t it?
[1:35:26 – 1:35:28] Adam: It’s got the little bar down there.
[1:35:28 – 1:35:28] Erik: It has it.
[1:35:28 – 1:35:29] Erik: So if you want to put it in.
[1:35:30 – 1:35:30] Erik: Yeah.
[1:35:30 – 1:35:33] Erik: But you almost, I mean, I think I’ve had mine pulled out for years.
[1:35:33 – 1:35:34] Adam: I took out the bar.
[1:35:34 – 1:35:34] Adam: Yeah.
[1:35:34 – 1:35:34] Adam: Yeah.
[1:35:34 – 1:35:35] Adam: I don’t know where it is.
[1:35:36 – 1:35:37] Erik: Jam a pack under there way better.
[1:35:38 – 1:35:38] Adam: Oh yeah.
[1:35:39 – 1:35:39] Erik: Yeah.
[1:35:39 – 1:35:44] Erik: Sometimes I do kind of wish that there was something there, but I don’t miss it that much.
[1:35:45 – 1:35:51] Adam: See, up in the bow, I just always have like one foot tucked underneath me, usually my right foot, and then the left foot’s kind of forward.
[1:35:52 – 1:35:58] Adam: I kind of sit in that configuration and it just fits perfect in the bow seat while I’m up there enjoying the views.
[1:35:58 – 1:36:00] Erik: Yeah.
[1:36:00 – 1:36:08] Adam: Yeah, I mean, when I, you know, if I paddle in the stern, you know, then I do sort of like having just both feet out like that if I can.
[1:36:09 – 1:36:09] Erik: Yeah.
[1:36:10 – 1:36:17] Erik: I mean, it depends on the situation, obviously, but I find myself mostly wedging in, given that Canuvio lay crevasse.
[1:36:17 – 1:36:17] Erik: Yeah.
[1:36:18 – 1:36:24] Erik: Double cross-legged with two knees tightly packed under either side.
[1:36:24 – 1:36:26] Adam: You’re balanced and you’re one with the boat.
[1:36:26 – 1:36:29] Erik: Yeah, and I feel like I sit much better and my back doesn’t get as worn out.
[1:36:30 – 1:36:38] Erik: I mean, sometimes you got to stretch the legs, but if I just sit with both legs or even one leg stretch for a while, you get real tight in the low back.
[1:36:38 – 1:36:39] Erik: You get way more sore.
[1:36:40 – 1:36:41] Erik: You got to wedge in.
[1:36:41 – 1:36:42] Erik: Poor posture.
[1:36:42 – 1:36:43] Erik: Poor posture.
[1:36:43 – 1:36:44] Erik: Last comment.
[1:36:45 – 1:36:52] Erik: This is the magic of the roulette that is commenting on a question on the subreddit.
[1:36:53 – 1:36:54] Erik: Time it right and you could be last.
[1:36:55 – 1:36:57] Erik: Time it wrong, and you could get never.
[1:36:57 – 1:36:59] Erik: You might not ever make it on.
[1:37:00 – 1:37:02] Erik: Never make it on.
[1:37:02 – 1:37:03] Erik: Dulli2132.
[1:37:03 – 1:37:04] Erik: Welcome, welcome.
[1:37:04 – 1:37:05] Erik: Welcome.
[1:37:06 – 1:37:06] Erik: I have two boats.
[1:37:07 – 1:37:10] Erik: One is the Decoy 17 Aluminum Huachita.
[1:37:10 – 1:37:11] Erik: Huachita.
[1:37:11 – 1:37:11] Erik: O-U-A-C-H-I-T-A.
[1:37:13 – 1:37:14] Erik: Huachita.
[1:37:14 – 1:37:15] Erik: Huachita.
[1:37:23 – 1:37:23] Adam: Sounds fast.
[1:37:23 – 1:37:24] Erik: Yeah.
[1:37:25 – 1:37:26] Adam: That’s the decoy boat?
[1:37:28 – 1:37:29] Erik: I don’t know if it’s the…
[1:37:29 – 1:37:29] Erik: Yes.
[1:37:30 – 1:37:33] Erik: I think it’s one of the decoys mentioned previously.
[1:37:33 – 1:37:36] Adam: Or it’s just filled with duck decoys for hunting.
[1:37:36 – 1:37:36] Erik: I don’t know.
[1:37:36 – 1:37:38] Erik: I think it’s from the 60s.
[1:37:38 – 1:37:39] Erik: Oh my.
[1:37:39 – 1:37:43] Erik: And it came with the paddles that I was actually after on Facebook Marketplace.
[1:37:44 – 1:37:46] Adam: Oh, another boat that came with nice paddles.
[1:37:46 – 1:37:50] Erik: Yeah, but it’s quite light and stable, and I couldn’t care less what happens to it.
[1:37:50 – 1:37:52] Erik: It’s also nice, you know, at a certain point in time.
[1:37:53 – 1:37:57] Erik: You spend a year and a half building a cedar strip canoe, and you get that thing out there into the park.
[1:37:58 – 1:37:59] Erik: It’s got to be a little bit of a mild nightmare.
[1:38:00 – 1:38:01] Erik: There’s no augering of that boat.
[1:38:01 – 1:38:03] Adam: No, no wedging either.
[1:38:03 – 1:38:04] Erik: Yeah.
[1:38:05 – 1:38:09] Erik: I couldn’t imagine just dashing one of those things on one of those lurkers.
[1:38:11 – 1:38:12] Adam: Yeah, they’re all over the place out there.
[1:38:13 – 1:38:17] Erik: Yeah, it is quite stable and I couldn’t care less what happens to it.
[1:38:17 – 1:38:21] Erik: I take that one in the Chicago and Des Plaines Rivers.
[1:38:23 – 1:38:23] Erik: Puke emoji.
[1:38:24 – 1:38:25] Erik: Yeah, turn green.
[1:38:26 – 1:38:32] Erik: Thinking about spray painting Northwind 17 on it or affixing my Subaru ownership badges.
[1:38:33 – 1:38:35] Erik: It’s on its side and uncovered in my yard.
[1:38:36 – 1:38:37] Adam: It’s a 96 Forester.
[1:38:37 – 1:38:38] Erik: Yeah.
[1:38:39 – 1:38:43] Erik: The other is a 17-foot Kevlar Spirit II from the 90s.
[1:38:44 – 1:38:46] Erik: With the smoked gel coat.
[1:38:46 – 1:38:48] Erik: Smoked gel coat.
[1:38:48 – 1:38:48] Adam: Nice.
[1:38:48 – 1:38:49] Erik: Smoked.
[1:38:49 – 1:38:51] Adam: It’s like those smoked glasses.
[1:38:53 – 1:38:56] Erik: Some pretty darn ugly gel coat repairs that I did on it.
[1:38:57 – 1:38:58] Erik: But she’s in good shape.
[1:38:58 – 1:39:01] Erik: Was an absolute steal on Craigslist.
[1:39:01 – 1:39:01] Erik: Dad.
[1:39:02 – 1:39:03] Erik: And I love her so much.
[1:39:04 – 1:39:11] Erik: She’s upside down on the sawhorses and covered by tarp tent situation I rigged outside because I don’t have a garage.
[1:39:13 – 1:39:14] Adam: That’s a garage in its own way.
[1:39:15 – 1:39:15] Adam: Yeah.
[1:39:16 – 1:39:18] Adam: You made it its own personal garage.
[1:39:18 – 1:39:20] Adam: Maybe it’s more of a canoe cocoon.
[1:39:20 – 1:39:20] Erik: Yeah.
[1:39:21 – 1:39:22] Erik: No name yet.
[1:39:22 – 1:39:23] Adam: No name yet.
[1:39:24 – 1:39:25] Adam: Yet.
[1:39:26 – 1:39:27] Adam: I don’t know.
[1:39:27 – 1:39:32] Adam: All these stories, I just keep looking over at Gordy’s boat being like, boy, this thing’s in rough shape.
[1:39:33 – 1:39:34] Erik: Yeah, well.
[1:39:34 – 1:39:35] Adam: That’s part of the charm of it.
[1:39:36 – 1:39:36] Adam: The patina.
[1:39:37 – 1:39:37] Erik: Yeah.
[1:39:39 – 1:39:40] Adam: I like that it’s not perfect.
[1:39:40 – 1:39:40] Adam: What’s the year?
[1:39:40 – 1:39:41] Adam: Is that a 98?
[1:39:41 – 1:39:41] Adam: 97.
[1:39:41 – 1:39:41] Adam: 97.
[1:39:41 – 1:39:41] Adam: Yeah.
[1:39:45 – 1:39:46] Adam: It’s pretty old.
[1:39:46 – 1:39:46] Adam: Yeah.
[1:39:47 – 1:39:50] Adam: But a lot of miles and a lot of stories on that boat too.
[1:39:51 – 1:39:52] Adam: Double skid plated.
[1:39:52 – 1:39:52] Adam: Yeah.
[1:39:53 – 1:39:56] Adam: I need to grind these old skid plates off of it and really give this thing a fresh life.
[1:39:56 – 1:39:59] Erik: No, you need to sand it down just enough to apply a third.
[1:39:59 – 1:39:59] Adam: Yeah.
[1:39:59 – 1:40:01] Adam: Maybe just keep adding more.
[1:40:02 – 1:40:04] Adam: What’s another five to 10 pounds?
[1:40:04 – 1:40:06] Adam: I like to auger it in.
[1:40:06 – 1:40:07] Adam: Auger it in.
[1:40:07 – 1:40:07] Adam: Yeah.
[1:40:07 – 1:40:09] Adam: Auger it in, auger it out.
[1:40:09 – 1:40:09] Adam: Who cares?
[1:40:10 – 1:40:10] Erik: Auger it in.
[1:40:10 – 1:40:11] Erik: Yeah.
[1:40:12 – 1:40:14] Erik: A little bit of the old auger in, auger out.
[1:40:14 – 1:40:15] Erik: Am I right?
[1:40:19 – 1:40:21] Adam: Not eating pancakes again.
[1:40:21 – 1:40:22] Adam: We just ate pancakes.
[1:40:23 – 1:40:23] UNKNOWN: Oh, God.
[1:40:23 – 1:40:25] Erik: I think we’re both referencing different movies.
[1:40:26 – 1:40:31] Adam: No, we’re both talking about Buscemi.
[1:40:31 – 1:40:33] Erik: I was referencing Clockwork Orange.
[1:40:34 – 1:40:36] Adam: Oh, I thought we were talking about Fargo.
[1:40:37 – 1:40:39] Adam: So you weren’t talking about Buscemi at all?
[1:40:39 – 1:40:39] Adam: No.
[1:40:40 – 1:40:41] Adam: Okay, that’s fine.
[1:40:42 – 1:40:42] Erik: That’s fine.
[1:40:42 – 1:40:47] Erik: Usually we don’t go back and describe the references that we make.
[1:40:47 – 1:40:48] Erik: We just let them kind of hang.
[1:40:48 – 1:40:49] Erik: And if people figure them out, they do.
[1:40:50 – 1:40:52] Erik: And probably most of them go completely unnoticed.
[1:40:52 – 1:40:53] Erik: They might never figure them out.
[1:40:53 – 1:40:54] Adam: They’re so deep.
[1:40:54 – 1:40:54] Adam: We have them.
[1:40:55 – 1:40:55] Adam: We don’t even know what we’re saying.
[1:40:55 – 1:40:57] Erik: I don’t even know what you’re saying half the time.
[1:40:57 – 1:40:58] Erik: That’s fine.
[1:40:58 – 1:40:59] Erik: Yeah.
[1:40:59 – 1:40:59] Erik: It totally is.
[1:41:00 – 1:41:01] Erik: They like it that way.
[1:41:01 – 1:41:01] Erik: Me too.
[1:41:01 – 1:41:02] Erik: Yeah.
[1:41:02 – 1:41:03] Erik: Well, that’s all the comments.
[1:41:04 – 1:41:05] Adam: That was quite a boat show.
[1:41:06 – 1:41:06] Adam: Jeez.
[1:41:06 – 1:41:06] Adam: Yeah.
[1:41:07 – 1:41:09] Adam: That was a total boat show part two right there.
[1:41:09 – 1:41:10] Adam: Yeah.
[1:41:10 – 1:41:17] Erik: Yeah, how do you even come back from a total boat show with even more complete and total boat show than the one previously?
[1:41:18 – 1:41:25] Erik: I guess you just have to come back and do it even more total than the first time, which I think we’ve done.
[1:41:25 – 1:41:26] Adam: Even more freeboard.
[1:41:27 – 1:41:28] Erik: More Freebard.
[1:41:28 – 1:41:30] Adam: Maybe next week we’ll install an unloader.
[1:41:31 – 1:41:31] Erik: Yeah.
[1:41:31 – 1:41:34] Erik: It’s like the Champlain of boat show episodes.
[1:41:34 – 1:41:36] Erik: It’s wide in the middle for big people.
[1:41:37 – 1:41:39] Adam: The Winona Advantage.
[1:41:39 – 1:41:40] Adam: Never heard of it.
[1:41:40 – 1:41:41] Adam: The Lamoille.
[1:41:42 – 1:41:43] Adam: We all remember it.
[1:41:43 – 1:41:43] Erik: Legendary.
[1:41:44 – 1:41:46] Adam: And a lot of Champlains this week.
[1:41:46 – 1:41:48] Adam: A lot of Lumacraft.
[1:41:48 – 1:41:48] Adam: Yes.
[1:41:48 – 1:41:50] Adam: See, you’re learning.
[1:41:50 – 1:41:51] Adam: I’m trying my best.
[1:41:51 – 1:41:51] Chill Folk Music: Mm-hmm.
[1:41:52 – 1:41:54] Adam: All right.
[1:41:54 – 1:41:58] Adam: Thanks to Nick and Amy from the Caribbean and your beautiful boat, Heavenly.
[1:41:59 – 1:42:00] Adam: Yes.
[1:42:00 – 1:42:10] Adam: Thank you for the shirts, the hot sauces, the delightful postcard, and beautiful picture of yourselves and these delicious beers from the islands.
[1:42:10 – 1:42:17] Erik: My God, the serendipity we’ve got with these sponsorships coordinating and corresponding with the thing.
[1:42:17 – 1:42:23] Adam: Imagine if we were to open this box up next week and be like, well, the boat show is over now, and now we’ve got a whole box of boat-themed stuff.
[1:42:24 – 1:42:25] Erik: What are we talking about next week?
[1:42:25 – 1:42:26] Erik: I’m sure it’s about a boat still, isn’t it?
[1:42:27 – 1:42:28] Adam: It’s probably more boats, yeah.
[1:42:28 – 1:42:29] Adam: I’m not sure of the order.
[1:42:29 – 1:42:32] Adam: We have a couple of different options for next week.
[1:42:32 – 1:42:40] Erik: I think we need enough time because I feel like we need to tease the question again and get that out there.
[1:42:40 – 1:42:41] Adam: Yeah, we should.
[1:42:42 – 1:42:51] Erik: And then there’s probably not enough time after that comes out before, you know, it seems like some of these people, they need like three weeks to respond to these questions.
[1:42:51 – 1:42:53] Adam: And then they got to edit their responses.
[1:42:53 – 1:42:55] Adam: So, you know, you don’t want to rush anybody.
[1:42:55 – 1:42:55] Erik: Yeah, what are you doing?
[1:42:55 – 1:42:57] Erik: You’re like, three weeks ago?
[1:42:57 – 1:42:57] Erik: Oh!
[1:42:58 – 1:42:58] Erik: Oh!
[1:42:58 – 1:43:03] Erik: You just, like, wake up in a cold sweat, pop on Reddit, adjust it.
[1:43:03 – 1:43:04] Adam: I just thought of something.
[1:43:04 – 1:43:05] Adam: There it is.
[1:43:06 – 1:43:07] Adam: Now it’s just right.
[1:43:07 – 1:43:09] Adam: I didn’t describe the straps properly.
[1:43:10 – 1:43:10] Erik: Oh, God!
[1:43:11 – 1:43:11] Erik: The straps!
[1:43:12 – 1:43:14] Erik: They’re Fleet Farm brand, and they’re finicky!
[1:43:14 – 1:43:15] Erik: I spelled Tuffweave wrong.
[1:43:15 – 1:43:17] Erik: People will think I’m crazy.
[1:43:19 – 1:43:19] Erik: Yeah.
[1:43:19 – 1:43:26] Erik: So I think we should tease the next question, even though there will most likely be an episode or two in between.
[1:43:26 – 1:43:27] Adam: Yeah, that sounds right.
[1:43:27 – 1:43:28] Erik: We’ll just throw it out.
[1:43:28 – 1:43:35] Erik: I think most of the people that are getting their information on questions of the week are probably getting them on the subreddit.
[1:43:35 – 1:43:39] Erik: But again, we did greatly appreciate the responses that came in via email.
[1:43:41 – 1:43:45] Erik: And I don’t know why there would be any reason why we wouldn’t want to encourage that going forward.
[1:43:46 – 1:43:49] Erik: So give people enough time to tumblehomecast at gmail.com.
[1:43:50 – 1:43:50] Erik: Yeah.
[1:43:50 – 1:43:54] Erik: This would also be another amazing one if there’s pictures to go along with it.
[1:43:54 – 1:43:55] Erik: Absolutely.
[1:43:55 – 1:43:57] Erik: My God, could you imagine?
[1:43:57 – 1:43:57] Erik: HD.
[1:43:58 – 1:43:59] Erik: The Gourmands.
[1:44:00 – 1:44:00] Erik: Wow.
[1:44:00 – 1:44:01] Erik: Are clamoring.
[1:44:03 – 1:44:03] Erik: I don’t know.
[1:44:03 – 1:44:04] Erik: What’s the question?
[1:44:04 – 1:44:06] Erik: Is it your most memorable feast?
[1:44:07 – 1:44:07] Adam: Yeah.
[1:44:07 – 1:44:08] Adam: Tell us about your feast.
[1:44:09 – 1:44:11] Adam: This week, we wanted you to tell us about your boat.
[1:44:12 – 1:44:15] Adam: Next week, tell us about your best feast.
[1:44:15 – 1:44:15] Adam: I mean.
[1:44:16 – 1:44:16] Adam: It’s the feast.
[1:44:17 – 1:44:18] Adam: It’s the feast episodes.
[1:44:18 – 1:44:19] Erik: Yeah, the feast is upon us.
[1:44:20 – 1:44:22] Adam: It’s the whole season of feasting coming up.
[1:44:22 – 1:44:32] Adam: Yeah, I mean, starting in a couple of weeks, it’s… Yeah, I don’t think we have actually hammered out the exact wording on the question of the week, but it’s, tell us about your best feast in the park.
[1:44:32 – 1:44:34] Erik: Yeah, your most memorable meal, essentially.
[1:44:35 – 1:44:38] Erik: And I can think of three off the top of my head right now.
[1:44:38 – 1:44:39] Erik: Yeah.
[1:44:39 – 1:44:40] Erik: And you know you have them.
[1:44:41 – 1:44:42] Adam: Those feasts.
[1:44:42 – 1:44:47] Erik: You don’t need a perfect question elucidated from us.
[1:44:48 – 1:44:48] Erik: Yeah, we’ll post it.
[1:44:49 – 1:44:49] Erik: The idea is there.
[1:44:50 – 1:44:50] Adam: Yeah.
[1:44:50 – 1:44:51] Erik: You know what we’re talking about.
[1:44:51 – 1:44:52] Erik: It’s that meal that…
[1:44:54 – 1:44:58] Erik: Unforgettable was absolutely necessary.
[1:44:58 – 1:45:00] Adam: The perfect time and the perfect place.
[1:45:01 – 1:45:01] Erik: Yeah, exactly.
[1:45:02 – 1:45:03] Erik: With the perfect people.
[1:45:03 – 1:45:05] Erik: And probably too much, but…
[1:45:07 – 1:45:09] Erik: Yeah, it may or may not have made the trip.
[1:45:10 – 1:45:14] Erik: Maybe it tilted things in a better direction.
[1:45:14 – 1:45:15] Erik: Maybe it didn’t.
[1:45:15 – 1:45:16] Erik: Maybe it was just…
[1:45:16 – 1:45:22] Adam: There’s been always a lot of talk about meals, and it’s a big part of any trip into the Boundary Waters.
[1:45:22 – 1:45:30] Adam: On the show, we talk about the food of the Boundary Waters and of your trips all the time, but we never just talked about the feast.
[1:45:30 – 1:45:30] Erik: Yeah.
[1:45:31 – 1:45:36] Adam: And as we approach the feasting season, that’s the question of the week going forward, so…
[1:45:36 – 1:45:37] Erik: Yeah.
[1:45:37 – 1:45:37] Adam: Ding.
[1:45:38 – 1:45:38] Adam: Feast it.
[1:45:38 – 1:45:39] Erik: Feasting.
[1:45:39 – 1:45:40] Erik: There’s the feast chime.
[1:45:41 – 1:45:41] Erik: Yeah.
[1:45:41 – 1:45:48] Erik: And I guess you can interpret the question however you like, and we will put it into words.
[1:45:48 – 1:45:57] Erik: But for me personally, I know the big three that come to mind, because yeah, sure, you can bring out a…
[1:45:58 – 1:46:01] Erik: a Costco rotisserie chicken on night one.
[1:46:01 – 1:46:01] Erik: And sure.
[1:46:01 – 1:46:04] Erik: Yeah, it’s a feast, but it would be, is it really?
[1:46:04 – 1:46:05] Erik: Yeah.
[1:46:05 – 1:46:08] Erik: It’s those late trip feasts.
[1:46:08 – 1:46:21] Erik: It’s those like, I mean, if you’re, uh, as fortunate as me and Adam have been to have been on like extended long trips, those are the ones where the feasts become much more memorable, uh,
[1:46:22 – 1:46:25] Erik: Because there’s not really, I don’t know, anything.
[1:46:26 – 1:46:34] Erik: I don’t even know if I can really, I’m sure I could if I really sat down and thought about what some of my first night meals are.
[1:46:34 – 1:46:40] Erik: But those ones are really, actually, in the grand scheme of things, some of the least memorable.
[1:46:41 – 1:46:45] Erik: Because it’s just kind of first day, like you literally had breakfast in your kitchen that morning.
[1:46:45 – 1:46:47] Adam: Yeah, yeah.
[1:46:47 – 1:46:49] Adam: You’re not hungry enough the first night to really feast.
[1:46:49 – 1:46:50] Adam: No, you’re not.
[1:46:50 – 1:46:51] Erik: No.
[1:46:51 – 1:47:05] Erik: So it’s whatever huge fish that you concocted or it is something that you planned for like day five or whatever your answer to, yeah, your most memorable Boundary Waters feast is.
[1:47:06 – 1:47:12] Erik: That’s hopefully going to coordinate a little bit with the late Thanksgiving this year.
[1:47:13 – 1:47:15] Erik: Feast chat 2025.
[1:47:15 – 1:47:16] Adam: It’s going to be epic.
[1:47:17 – 1:47:18] Adam: It’s going to be great.
[1:47:18 – 1:47:19] Adam: It’s going to be hearty as hell.
[1:47:19 – 1:47:21] Erik: Yeah, we’re probably going to bring our own feasts with.
[1:47:22 – 1:47:24] Erik: We’ll just be eating the whole time, smacking our lips.
[1:47:24 – 1:47:26] Adam: We’ll get a couple of those big turkey legs.
[1:47:26 – 1:47:28] Erik: A couple of big turkey legs.
[1:47:28 – 1:47:30] Adam: We’ll wear napkins in our shirts.
[1:47:31 – 1:47:35] Erik: Yes, we should have smuggled in, at the very least, some of those chicken dinner chips.
[1:47:35 – 1:47:36] Erik: Yeah, we should have.
[1:47:37 – 1:47:38] Adam: Why aren’t those a thing in the States?
[1:47:39 – 1:47:40] Adam: We could probably import them.
[1:47:41 – 1:47:41] Adam: Probably.
[1:47:41 – 1:47:43] Adam: I’m going to look at some of our distributors.
[1:47:44 – 1:47:45] Adam: Somebody’s got to have something.
[1:47:45 – 1:47:46] Erik: Beware the tariff, my friend.
[1:47:47 – 1:47:47] Erik: No.
[1:47:47 – 1:47:49] Erik: We’ll get them before the end of the year.
[1:47:49 – 1:47:50] Erik: You’ll be fine.
[1:47:50 – 1:47:51] Erik: We’ll be fine.
[1:47:51 – 1:47:51] Erik: No.
[1:47:52 – 1:47:54] Erik: Well, thank you to everybody who responded.
[1:47:54 – 1:47:58] Erik: Thank you, especially to the, not anymore, especially, I guess.
[1:47:58 – 1:48:00] Erik: I don’t want to count anybody out.
[1:48:00 – 1:48:09] Erik: I’m not weighing my favoritism towards any way that you want to respond, but it is always nice to get the emails, at least to keep the Google servers from shutting down.
[1:48:09 – 1:48:10] Adam: Cool waters, baby.
[1:48:10 – 1:48:11] Adam: Cool waters.
[1:48:11 – 1:48:12] Adam: Cool waters.
[1:48:12 – 1:48:13] Adam: And Space Lab.
[1:48:14 – 1:48:15] Adam: Big shout-outs to both those boats.
[1:48:17 – 1:48:17] Adam: Yeah.
[1:48:17 – 1:48:18] Adam: It’s been another wonderful boat show.
[1:48:18 – 1:48:21] Adam: We’ll see you guys in another six years for Boat Show 3.
[1:48:21 – 1:48:21] Adam: Yep.
[1:48:22 – 1:48:23] Adam: That’ll be a good one.
[1:48:23 – 1:48:25] Adam: So mark your calendars for that.
[1:48:26 – 1:48:28] Adam: As we always say on Tumble Home, life is precious.
[1:48:28 – 1:48:29] Adam: Every day is a miracle.
[1:48:30 – 1:48:32] Adam: And, of course, happy paddling.
[1:48:33 – 1:48:33] Adam: Of course.
[1:48:34 – 1:48:35] Adam: Before those lakes freeze.
[1:48:36 – 1:48:37] Adam: Maybe four years.
[1:48:38 – 1:48:39] Adam: Yeah, we can truncate.
[1:48:40 – 1:48:40] Erik: Well, four years.
[1:48:40 – 1:48:41] Erik: And then we’ll check in.
[1:48:42 – 1:48:43] Adam: Like the Olympics.
[1:48:43 – 1:48:44] Erik: Yeah, just like the Olympics.
[1:48:44 – 1:48:48] Erik: We’ll check in, see if, see how love versus hate’s doing.
[1:48:49 – 1:48:49] Adam: There we go.
[1:48:49 – 1:48:50] Adam: All right.
[1:48:50 – 1:48:50] Adam: Good night.
[1:48:51 – 1:48:51] Adam: Good night.
[1:49:33 – 1:49:38] Chill Folk Music: Going home, where is that at, baby?
[1:49:39 – 1:49:55] Chill Folk Music: I, I’ve been thinking I’ve been drinking I’ve been dying And craving some cold water Cold water Just like Hank, Hank, Hank
[1:50:27 – 1:50:31] Chill Folk Music: And do you got something to burn?
[1:50:32 – 1:50:50] Chill Folk Music: Cause now is the time To do some overcome Before you got them But when, when you’re done Bite your tongue And put out the cherry with some
[1:51:15 – 1:51:17] Chill Folk Music: When it’s only my and you
