I carry the canoe on the first trip, so that it can be immediately loaded on completion of second trip. But, I'm not a solo paddler...

Neither am I!  Good idea.

I've attached a picture of one of my recent "practice" day trips.  Since this pic was taken, I've replaced the green Duluth pack with a longer, slimmer,lower profile pack made by Lowe Alpine.  Now I won't have  to wedge the Duluth pack in there.
