NEW!!! How To Paddle a Canoe
- the only 3 Strokes you'll ever need
J-Stroke
Draw Stroke
Sweep Stroke

 

Tie one end of a rope to your Top Tie on the driver's side of the vehicle and thread through the handy-dandy grommets in the end of all Souris River Canoes.  The rest of you guys will have to loop it once over the grab-handle of your off-brand :-) canoe. Run the other end of the rope thru the Top Tie on the passenger side of the car as is clearly depicted here.  White rope, white car - what WERE we thinking?
Here's where it gets trickier.  Make a simple loop in the rope as it comes down from the canoe.  This is like a magic trick so watch closely. If your loop looks like this, please try again.
Take the underside portion of rope - the one that's going to the Top Tie and pull it thru the loop that you are still holding with your right hand.  CLICK HERE for a diagram of what the heck is going on here. Pull the top part of the rope up and the loop down. This will tighten the knot that holds the loop in place.  For giggles and practise, grasp rope on each side of loop and pull apart.  Loop should vanish like a magic trick.  If it does not pull out of the line, don't quit your day job to follow the glamorous world of illusion.  Try it again.
