General question about Black. Langford, and maybe many canoe companies, have this way cool black colour, kind of waffly looking paint, (reminds me of a black panther, there are spots there but only in certain light and angles). It is just awesome. But we discussed at the time how hard that canoe would be to see upside down on a heavy and cloudy day, especially on big lakes when the waves are a foot high and the water is almost black? Anyone else share these concerns generally? Maybe I am too worried about a rare occurrance.
You raise good points about safety. Me - I don't subscribe to the view that the only colour a canoe can have is what has been
DONE before.
Years ago my sister (a Taurus as well, good taste runs with the bull) moved to a small community in Ottawa called Stittsville. She painted her garage and shutters and trim a beautiful shade of blue in a community that had only ever seen black, white or perhaps brown. Well didn't those neighbours have something to say...here was this girl painting the exterior of her house BLUE - and not Royal, not cobalt, not sky - but some eclectic shade inspired no doubt by Ralph or Martha. Many naysayers, much gossip.
But after people got past the fact it was different, they realized - it was
nice
She started a TREND...before you knew it everyone had embraced it.
Now Hooligan has made his choice..we respect that. and this girl isn't posting to condemn or admonish...just idle banter for a Sunday afternoon.
Cheers!
