Hey gnu, I'm sure that would be my preferred vessel for a transit from Sydney to Port Aux Basques. But MV Caribou would have a lot of trouble navigating Mud Lake (I'm thinking of a particular Mud Lake but there are many and this generalization applies to all of them), unlike a kayak.
W-O been out once, the little Mississippi pond-hop I described earlier. Perfect weather today but I'm going to a session instead.
