The first of the Canoe ICU clinics was held on Feb. 28. Cliff and Susan joined me in the boat house for some maintenance projects on the rental boats. They were in the market for a used, light-weight canoe and wanted to find out what repairs are easy and what would be more serious problems. We reattached a deck plate on a We-No-Nah Northfork using pop rivets, re-glued knee pads and refinished the portage yoke in an Old Town Discovery 158. Cliff and Susan found a Swift Otter in IWANNA within a week and are now the proud owners of a beautiful white fiberglass canoe.
This Sunday the 14th, The ICU clinic is on seat repair and replacement. We'll pull the old seats out of the Winooski and replace seats in an Old Town Molitor that belongs to a customer. I'll also demonstrate how to redo old seats with webbing.
This week I'll be giving the Winooski a good cleaning, then take lots of pictures so I'll have documentation of the little details.
