Hi all,
just bought a canoe from a flood damage sale and woundered where is best position for a 250ltr tank, in the front , back or in the middle ?. I have strapped the poles to the side of the canoe which looks great and they add to the speed cos they look like go faster stripes.
I will post pictures soon.
Any advice from people who run canoes would be very helpful.

Regards

Adam

 :)  I haven't noticed any lying around the place!  Alex is just as eager as you to get his hands on the shipment.  It looks the business though - very manly.

Funny, it rained as though it was set in for the day- an hour later blue sky and sunshine :-\

Just got back, and only one job behind from todays schedule.

Window cleaning is a funny ole game... :)

Started raining at 8am this morning and still going strong now, the lads didn't even get started.

I was out carpet cleaning all day today in the hills, thought I was going to get caught up in the snow, luckily the ground was too wet so it wasn't really lying much.

If it turns cold tonight tomorrow will be a different story!!
