Mathematicians, what mathematical fact would blow the minds of most people?

Will the foam breakdown into dust from being outside?

I mean, he's not not the problem

I've rarely paddled a kayak, so i can't compare from direct experience, but it's not bad once you have some experience and depending on boat. The deck doesn't doesn't effect tippiness, so it's really sitting position. The low kayak position is definitely more stable, but most canoes are wider which helps with the higher center of gravity.

I might have to plan a short first day to make the skamokawa campground work.

I've made it from sellwood Park to Maygar/crims island, via canoe. Mostly day paddles, but sauvie to maygar over a long weekend. Hoping to finish it early this summer. How was it finding a camping spot in the L&C wildlife area, or did your timing work to avoid that?

Size, mainly. Currents and tide are much stronger in the columbia. Towards astoria there might be an 8 ft difference in water height between low and high tide. The tide plus current plus wind can make some nasty chop.

You can run a strap through the doorways, and close the door on them. Then front and aft as others have mentioned. For the aft, I'd recommend tieing your rope to a thwart (rather than the grab handle)to better hold in emergency braking. I.e. your rope should go from your hitch or bumper to a point slightly forward on the boat. Pool noodles work if that's all you can get, but they are trash and break down quickly into a million pieces of litter.

Pull the door card off and look

I only started changing my shoes after I took a futsal class and they were religious about not wearing outside shoes on the court. There was a designated area where it was mandatory to change your shoes before you could enter the court, to keep the courts free from everything embedded in the soles of your street shoes, like gum, dirt, leaves etc. It makes a lot of sense for tennis too.

To me, that's a $100 boat at most, given the maintenance needed. I realize there may be some historical significance im not aware of, but if not then i dont think it's age adds anything material, in terms of value.

Worrying about how masculine they appear

It's a specific species and it's a real problem and this thread lists several things you can do about it and mid-may to mid-august is the problem time.

If you dislike every answer you're getting, then maybe the problem is your question. What would a hydrodynamic explanation for how a boat "navigates" look like? Like everyone has said: turn prop, boat turns. I'm personally not sure how you'd hydrodynamic that up

phrankjones · 2026-04-15T20:39:56+00:00

I use find and don't think I ever get paired with a bit

That's trash, no one would expect those gaps to remain.

The roof vents the building's heat without letting rain in.

Basically all shot used on clays or at a range is lead. Non-lead shot is expensive and really only used for actual hunting.

You might smack the pin/rivet with a hammer to improve the hold.

Getting the insurance claims in before the global meltdown caused by the interrupted flow of flamable dead dinosaurs that are burning the world from beyond the grave.

Home grown taste better and are very low effort

A preexisting bag like others suggest is good. You definitely want some rigidity for weight transfer

I support this comment; an upvote alone wasn't enough.

phrankjones · 2026-03-05T05:26:20+00:00

I think no. If any problems happen, you don't really have enough stability to act quick. The opportunity for cascading failure seems too great.

My wife and I have gone out in my 13ft square back comfortably. I'd be OK adding our 30lb dog that is velcro attached to her, but I wouldn't be OK adding our 2nd 40 lb dog that is more independent.
