In Response To: Re: I have no use for them meself... (Mike Scarborough)

Hi Mike,

In a little while, I'll be able to tell you whether I, too, can get around fine without a skeg. So far, I've been happier without it.

I'm curious: is there any archeological evidence of native canoes around your area? I've seen clam shell dumps and partly-carved arrowheads on the long island closest to the town -- but they're more durable than a canoe.
