Technically that's called portaging

I get cursed all the time; it’s nothing new to me

It's only portaging if you're carrying the canoe over land. And you call yourself a Canadian.

True, I should take pity on the less fortunate, I suppose. Nah! Where's the fun in that, amirite?

Bit of a potage-head

Wasn't that Jughead's younger cousin?

Portage, potage.

You must be new Canadians.

Or a chef. Potage is thick soup.

I'm going with the former, but you can put the shovel down whenever you're ready.

Mmm mmm good.

The only thing Scotch I like is whisky.

Your "clients" will be damned long before you, Rapey.

Yea, when you're dammed (by beavers, land etc) you need to portage to the next body of water.

I see no "beaver dams" (spelling corrected) in the OP.

Maybe the beavers were having potage that day.

Reminds me of my Salmon River place. I'll see it again in October.

Lol, as you can see not the sharpest tool in the box before a coffee, you calling me on it is okay, anybody else, "Well I oughta..."

As to kayaks? They look like tippy little suckers. I'll stick with canoes and sailboats.

Re: dams, my point exactly. As to the potage? They are eager little critters and all that exuberant work, I presume, builds up an appetite.
Interesting beaver fact of the day:

Castoreum comes from the castor sacs of the beaver, which occur in both males and females between the pelvis and the base of the tail. The beavers themselves, notoriously territorial and aggressive with intruders, use it to scent-mark

Ya, so, basically beaver nut butter.

Actually there is a thriving market for Castoreum as we speak. It's used in some high end perfumes.

Canoes is Kayaks made into convertibles by chopping the roof off. Hard to keep the water out after you do that though.

And, if I ever do manage to get dammed, you can sail into the sunset to your hearts content.

It's actually a shot of Mammoth Lakes up in the Sierra that I stole from the interwebz.
