It is a nice stretch. But two longer portages for sure. The trip down long lake could be a express ride with the wind at you're tail. Also the saranacs( if the wind is from the west). I think 5 days will give you plenty of time to enjoy this trip. As a possible bonus there are restaurants/ bars...
Iam enjoying following recapped. Thanks for the up dates trying. What would be his options if ice stopped his progress? Wait it out, retreat? He is on an adventure all right!
I use "carries" as well, most of my canoeing is in the adarondacks. Then would be pour tij.
What do new englanders call this exercise? For example the north forest canoe trail?
You got me on that one, I thought it was a cigarette?
Wow "ely portage marathon". That just screams fun! I wonder why they chose the boats they did? There are lighter boats out there. Mr. Bossen put in a real solid time at 4hr 11min can't imagine there was to much walking for that/ (6-6.5 mph avg est.). I bet his knees hurt.
Can't answer, but maybe a canoe sock would block uv's. People use them for protection from uv and road debris. Good luck that's a nice boat. How did it end up in Norway? Welcome to the site
