Notes on canoes, composite repair and quiet water in Ontario.
Fall layup — Storing a kevlar canoe for winter: keep it off the ground, out of the sun, and hull-up on padded racks.
Gelcoat touch-ups — Small scratches are cosmetic. Clean, sand lightly, fill, cure, then wet-sand and polish.
Algonquin, late September — Cold mornings, empty portages, and the best light of the year.
