Coming back from a week of DofE Gold work, I took a slight detour today via Hou Canoes and Silverbirch Canoes to pick up our new Hou Chieftain 17' canoe.

We've got this as a dedicated tandem boat for adults and as a triple for those pesky DofE groups with an odd number of participants.

Also, so we can do some proper multi-day tandem paddling trips ourselves.

We'll be trying some different ideas on the outfitting to give us some extra versatility.

It was also great to catch up with the guys and get a tour of the factory.
