Green is nice. Still pretty old school but not like totally old school. And it makes the water look bluer
Flagged, not deleted…
And not necessarily off-topic, IMO.

Yes, and with a green canoe if you ever need to avoid detection, you can hide under it on the bank and perhaps blend in with the weeds and plantlife. With silver you’d be out of luck.
I also feel like with a green canoe, it’s as much at home duck hunting in the morning, and then later a night on the town for a black-tie, type boating event. Very flexible. Other colors try, but just can’t quite pull that off.
AirLens should be green. Definitely not red.
Somewhere north of Toronto, but then there’s a lot of not much north of Toronto. Circa 1985.
as the kids say - LOL 
(good) catering improves most situations I have found, although I prefer my own kitchen to most others I have tried: no one makes a cheese toastie like I do!
(and when visiting the US on business, I got a completely different concoction/version each day I asked 
)
One of my kids, now in his 20s, is known for his ability to fall asleep anywhere. Canoes? Not a problem.
If I had a canoe for family use, it would need sleeping quarters.
We did once go canoeing on the Petit Rhône in the South of France. The weather was dreadful and the rental guy was surprised as we were the only one of 90 bookings to turn up. He took us 20 miles upriver (a bit optimistic) and within half an hour we almost drowned and were clinging to a tree waiting to be rescued.

tempted to post picture of plane I designed/built for high-end aerobatics…my lens through the air
The next best thing was a trip down a river where boiling water came out of the riverbank and you could pull over and brew up a cuppa. In this case, hot chocolate with built-in fake milk. A nice cup of PG would have hit the spot, but I didn’t make a point about it.

Please do. There are still 2,470 posts required to launch the AirLens and @jazznut is hanging on for his, he’ll be grateful.

I got rid of our 2-man kayak (just a cheap composite/sit on) when I realized that while out on our first trip together, my wife doesn’t paddle and just looks around…

Oh my gosh - a natural earth powered hot water urn?!
I would have built a house there immediately (well, I wouldn’t but it’s a nice idea )
YES!
Wonderful craft

Great machines and vastly more capable than I.
Flying aero is both delightful fun and humbling.
Wow, few thngs you haven’t done…racing, flying trumpet man…
Seems this as one of the threads waiting for product releases needs a lot of clean up when it gets back on topic
Maybe if we all chant…we want AirLens

I try to say “yes” to about anything, and have been fortunate to have been given many opportunities.
