Good day on the water but wet. Drying out PFDs and clothing.

Last weekend I made a trip back to Vancouver to pick up the cruiser. I could'nt drive over so I rode my bike across on the ferry. The Nanaimo boat is cancelled so I took the Duke Pt / Tsawwassen boat, so I had to ride my bike all the way from Tsawwassen to North Vancouver. But I had to cross the Fraser River, and the only reasonably close road goes through a tunnel, no bikes allowed. So I brought my packraft and paddled across with my bike since there was no way I was getting on a bus with this killer virus on the loose.

Here it is, the blue thing behind the seat. Life jacket and paddles were in my backpack.

After doing the switcheroo, here is the bike on the packraft.

Luckily I got across before some big freighters went by.

The next day I hiked up Grouse Mountain and saw a grouse.

Then after I packed everything up and got the cruiser ready I headed back to the ferry for the trip back. Packraft in the back.

This one is a Freedom. I started looking last year for a shorter Royalex boat, Dagger, Esquif, Mad River, or Mohawk, and kept missing the deals. This Mad River popped up on Craigslist about 3 weeks ago and I jumped on it.

These butterfly knots are often tough to loosen once they've been tensioned.

I ran across the Alpine Butterfly Knot and Alpine Butterfly Bend and have adopted it immediately. I can see that with very small nylon rope it might be difficult to untie if tensioned but it is supposed to be easy to untie.

Putting in on the lower Conecuh River for a day of turtle research.

Yes this job related or I would not be able to do as much of it as I do. I'm about 25 miles E of Montgomery. Henegar is in a nice area of the state near Little River.

Spent a few hours paddling onto a remote location to do a little shed hunting. Only walked an hour or so. Found a nice elk and a tiny deer shed.

Spent two days on the Locust Fork of the Black Warrior River this week. Toyotas were the vehicle of choice to transport boats. Here we were hauling out at Taylor's Ford on the river. FJ60 loaded with a Dagger and 4Runner a Mad River.

I always forget to take pics at the "put in".
These SUP's have become my favorite vehicle for enjoying the river when the water drops.

Take out on the Conecuh River. Gulf sturgeon were jumping in the pool along the sandbar. Did the lower 8 miles of the Sepulga River; it flows into the Conecuh River with the take out about 2 1/2 miles below the confluence.

I'm going for the "maybe other boats" category. Which i feel like it especially fits the category since it's shorter than a canoe. The cruiser tows it like a dream haha. Boat is an Addictor

Whoa...what size motor is that?, looks huge for that tiny hull.

@Skniper 15hp. From the factory they came with 25hp I believe. Which is probably also why they stopped making them. 25hp would be pretty wild on this
