The bird background gave a "swampy" feeling to your pictures. Nice job with the story. I particularly enjoyed your vimeo pictures. The bird background gave a “swampy” feeling to your pictures.

A solo canoe is designed for one person to paddle, the seat is in the middle.It takes a little different technic than a tandem canoe because one needs to control the front and the back. I paddle a 14 ft. Solo Mohawk canoe. For people who are not quite as agile as one would like, it has advantages for getting in and out, and being able to sit on a seat (I even use a seat back) while with a kayak one basically sits on the floor with their legs stretched out in front. Some sit-on-top kayaks do allow for one's legs to be flexed. I also find I can change the position of my legs and feet in a canoe. On of the best river guides I know says "Paddle solo, sleep tandem".

Wondering how this compares with Econfina. Wondering what a "solo canoe" is? Is a canoe better than a kayak for this trip? Wow I enjoyed this report. Wondering how this compares with Econfina.
