Mr Wally,  Would you mind posting some additional photos or how your solo canoe is trimmed out?  What bells and whistles you have added?  I am traveling solo this Fall in a Mad River Independence and I believe it need some creature comforts added.  ST had kindly posted some of what he had done with his tandem he paddles solo, along with some single traveler campsites amenities.  It all helps and I am not bashful about stealing ideas.

Thanks,

Regards,

Ah, the wonderful Indy!  I took mine on a few BW trips and loved the way it handled the small water and rivers.  I had trouble with it in windy conditions, though.  Even with my 50# pack behind me, I couldn't stick the stern enough to compensate for an oblique tailwind.  So beware the effects of all that rocker and be sure you can put weight all the way into the ends.
