I made two Gilpatrick paddles. They were nice but hardly anything approaching a fine piece of art. We canoed three miles down the St John's River, which runs along the East coast of Florida. We pulled into Blue Springs for an afternoon of frolicking in the cool spring water. The canoe was pulled ashore next to all the rental canoes and one ranger canoe. I mistakenly left the two homemade paddles and one store bought kiddy paddle in the canoe. Three hours latter, one of the home made paddles was missing. A check at the rental counter, and "nope no wood paddles had been returned."
The blasted thing had my name burned into it. At least they didn't take all our paddles otherwise we would have a real problem.
Why would someone take one paddle with someone else’s name in it?

That sucks, George. Some people have absolutely NO RESPECT!!! It's not like they could've picked it up by accident, they just liked the way it looked and STOLE it! Makes me wanna spit nails. At least you know how to make another one...kind of like having your canoe broken up by somebody who doesn't give a s..., huh?
