That said, you don't want my mom to show you up, do you? BTW I'm 40, so do the math on mom's age. Ha.

I recommend a rudder on whatever you choose to buy. That short-interval slop on the lake will wear you out if you have to compensate w/ only your paddle.
Ahhh..the UP..lived up there many moons ago. Bear hunted twice on Isle Royale, don't think they allow it anymore..that is some beautiful country, should be an outstanding trip
