>>2773940Yeah, I think this guy is dressing for a milder situation than great lakes region weather.
Also, I'd like to point out that when this thread started I hadn't been paddling since I was a teenager and ITT I've bought a canoe and I've been in it 6 of the last 11 days.
I took yesterday off, but we got started so late I realized I could just do the same thing and go after work today since the weather is good. I think this is fixing some of my work related spinal issues.
Also it's pretty absurd that I got to spend 3 hours and drive almost 50 miles round trip to paddle about 2, maybe 4 miles over the course of an hour.
It is worth it though. The wife can hold her end of the boat over her head much more easily and her shoulder issues seem to be bothering her less. I could never get her to just do tricep extensions and shit to fix these issues, but lifting the boat overhead 24 times in 11 days has the same effect.
I really appreciate the support and encouragement I've gotten on here. This was tough to pull off and you guys really helped.
