Frosty paddle in the core of Kitchener, Ontario. Just a 300 m portage to the LRT stop. Not that I would enter the LRT with a canoe!

I’ve been designing and building paddles. I’ve downsized each time and have ended on one that is 7.8oz which is less than 4 large eggs. Soon I test and it might fall apart—which would still be a fun pushing of the envelope.

It was once the foundation of a branch that reached out to support the growth of the entire tree. It helped the rest of the wood grow strong.
