That's a good lead on the Heritage. I'm looking for something I can sling around easily by myself. Thanks.

Agreed about how they sit in the water. That's actually why I shifted to the kayak for the recent evening ride -- too much wind for the canoe. But it was great once we go onto the water. A few bald eagles and more than a dozen beaver swimming around their dams and domes along the shoreline. All within a short drive from downtown DC.
