Out of the shop and into the water, finaly

Post by fisherguytoo »

:wink :cool
My 15 ft Prospector Ranger was completed (well, almost) and hit the water at a
nearby lake the 28th of June. I was dumped the first time I tried to enter (from a
dock). But, that was good as it did get my attention and thereafter I paid more
attention to what I was doing and might as well get it over with and begin enjoying
the canoe.
I am very pleased with the performance of the canoe, but, do feel that I have some
adjustments to make in the location of the seats, paddle lengths, etc. We (the canoe
and I) have been out three times and we are getting used to each other.
Looks like it will be a long and pleasant friendship

Now, if the 100+ heat will cooperate and drop some we will get out and have some
more fun.

Photo attached. I HOPE.

Suggestion: Read my instructions in the FAQ section of the forum, not the FAQ section listed above. If you still can't get it to work, let us know how you are doing it and what the particular problem is.

How about that

Post by fisherguytoo »

Well sucess at last. Finally posted a pic.

Sorry, that it is to large. Now I will work on that.

I still have at least one question, Glen.
When, as your instructions say, go to properties after rt. clicking the
photo, Properties will not allow any entry to that window. So, why
go there ??? or what am I missing ???
:laughing :applause :cool:

Thanks to all for their patience with my computer expertise. JUST
KIDDING

Once you have the properties displayed, you can just highlight them and right click on "copy" then you "paste" the properties into your message after clicking on "Img".
