Wooden Canoes Can Be Fixed

Broken Canoe
A friend sent me this photo of his wooden canoe after a tough day on the river. You’re looking at broken ribs, half-ribs and planks inside a 20′ wooden canoe. The good news is that everything on a wooden boat can be fixed. That’s one area where these old boats are far superior to their modern plastic relatives.  A birch canoe is even more so, because the materials to repair it are all in the woods.  A tough day, no doubt, but not the end of the boat’s life.

Typos, Etc.
Anything that appears to be an error in spelling or grammar is actually the author’s clever use of the vernacular, and as such is not an error, but rather a carefully placed literary device demonstrating prodigious artistic prowess.
