I checked the river thinking kids might have pushed in – no sign of it. It walked along the bank thinking someone may have stashed it so that they could come back for it later – nope. Someone must have picked it up and carried it off. The police station is literally a couple of hundred yards away, so I walked over and reported it missing in the unlikely event it shows up somewhere.
In hindsight, leaving the boat unattended wasn’t the best thing to do, but why would anyone steal a 20-year-old whitewater canoe – its not exactly a fishing boat. I’m guessing it will end up for sale somewhere.
Fortunately, I also have an old Dagger Impulse, so I do have a boat to paddle. Still, I really liked that Encore. I guess I’m going to be in the market for a new (used) boat. If anyone sees an Encore for sale, let me know.
p.s. - If you happen to have found my canoe and would like to return it, I'd love to have it back - email me.
