Disaster! Cracked/broke 3 ribs, gore planking, the gunwale (inner and outer) amidship on port side of the boat while practicing poling on a local stream. I think a little part of my soul died. Made a phone call to Island Falls Canoe and Jerry assured me that it wasn't the death knell that I thought it was. I am taking the boat up to the shop tomorrow to see what can be done before the trip. Sad sad day...
