    ‘12 to 15’ mph. - you need to be on shore reading a book! Absolutely agree with that instruction.

    this is why I learnt how to sail
    and made a sailing rig..
    just a maim sail.
    I use my ottertail as the rudder, going downwind
    and as a jagger board, when beating up wind..
    open canoe sailing is Ann incredible experience.
    knowledge
    practice
    fun fun FUN .
    keep going Lisa 🛶👍

      Wow Graham, sounds fun. I’ve rigged a sail with the wind at my back and several canoes rafted together. Crude, but fun and effective.

    Aorund here, a west wind always seems to blow in your face no matter which way you are paddling! Looking forward to the other wind videos. Thank you for this one.

    Hey Lisa! Another great video! Still looking for the make/model/where to get the camper kitchen. Help please!

    • @Mainepolingguide
      @Mainepolingguide 2 года назад

      For the Kamper kitchen contact Connie Ullman Dowie. Supplies are limited and the price is 150$ I think. But worth it. Good luck it may take a while.

    I love island hopping. I would rub the rocks on shore rather than swim with a swamped boat any day.

    Hi Lisa, What scale of map was that please?

    • @Mainepolingguide
      @Mainepolingguide 2 года назад +1

      It’s in an app called TOPO MAPS. I get the section I want at the scale I want and screen shot it and color print. BUT because of that it’s very difficult for me you convert the scale. Also I have to orient using true north lines and convert with declination in the field. Not such a big deal when you get used to it and I’ll probably do a segment this winter.

    I use a battery powered pump in my canoe if waves get too big and crest the canoe. Haven’t sunk yet. 😉

    You can Facebook message her. I don’t have any other contact for her. It’s no trouble if that doesn’t work Orr you come to a dead end let me know.

    • @betsyabn
      @betsyabn 2 года назад

      I've Facebook messaged her a few time, she doesn't seem to have any stock...any idea who manufactures them so we can source direct?? Merry Christmas!!
