Thanks, will look into those!

Good morning, A friend and I are planning to paddle for a few days on Stora Le in Dalsland, Sweden, in June. I tried to contact Canodal in Ed, to inquire about canoe rental and maybe equipment. I wrote the email in November, no reply yet. A friend here is friends with the owner and has tried to...
