 Posted on July 16th,2011This is a continuation of the story of my 2011 camp cruise in my skin-on-frame outrigger canoe AL DEMANY CHIMAN (the introductory post and map is here). There were a few items I thought it would be useful to touch upon in summary. Muscongus Bay Let me start with the area I picked. Simply [...]  Posted on July 14th,2011This is a continuation of the story of my 2011 camp cruise in my skin-on-frame outrigger canoe AL DEMANY CHIMAN (the introductory post and map is here). Day 3,In which we log some miles On day 3 I awoke –still groggy –at 7:45!

Truth be told,I was pretty nervous about the voyage around Muscongus Bay in [...] Posted on July 12th,2011Regular readers know all about my skin-on-frame outrigger canoe project,which culminated in the launch of AL DEMANY CHIMAN last October.
