My Dad was an avid sailor in southern New England . I did help him deliver a sailboat to Camden, Maine about 20 years ago (by water, from Connecticut) He taught me the 'bowline' when I was young. its second nature now, fast easy and very secure, plus you can always untie it ! I wish I had learned more from him. thanks for your videos ! I can't afford the type of boat my old man had, but I have 2 old town canoes and have come to love the simplicity of them. Ive lived on the salt water my whole life, but now I have really come to love the woods and fresh running water which is so beautiful and abundant in Maine. I really want to try a canoe / camping trip maybe this year and I loved your 'poling' videos. I actually paddle the shallows of 'little Narragansett bay' standing up ! thx again !
Andrew, thanks for watching. One of the best Maine Guides I know started out as a sailor and never set foot in a canoe u til he was 26. Fell in love with canoes and never looked back. Cheers. Lisa
Hey thanks for watching. Sorry it took so long to reply, I’m still figuring out the alerts on people responding. I enjoy your channel as well. Paddle on. Lisa
I have watched all your videos I love them all great job your Awesome! I do have a request. Could you please make a video of how to pack things related to things for baking? I’m interested in how you prep the things for say Cinnamon rolls muffins things like that. Thank you very much
Charles, thanks for watching. I plan to do videos through the long winter and will certainly do that. I started out as a baker before I was a Guide. I appreciate your input. All the best. Lisa
Oh my Gosh, Jefferson…my worlds are colliding. Yes still Stage Managing. I lost 2 really good Maine Guides from cancer within 2 years of each other and just wanted to archive my generation of Maine Guides. So humbled at the response. And as you well know, once you’re a parent, you don’t want to take it with you. XxLisa
Brilliant use of a highwayman's knot!
