I've dreamt of that same trip, but as voyageurs in the Boundary Waters of Minnesota....during moose season and with a moose tag!

You have created a huge problem for yourself. I can see the things your wife will be expecting after this.

That is beautiful.
It will now become a family heirloom, for the next 100-200 years.

My brother-in-law bought one from an old lady. Her hubby made it and died just shy of finishing it. It sat on a pair of sawhorses in her family room for 22 years. We put gunnel strips on it and it was done. Nice canoe but it looked like any leftover resin got poured into the bottom. 16' and it was all the two of us could carry.
