Departure from Tadoussac in the rain but full of the courage passed on by our loved ones, we arrived in Chicoutimi on Sunday, June 8, after 9 days! We completed two sails per day, using the reversing of the high tide current to progress. So it was usually about getting up with the sun, about...

The brigade left Tadoussac yesterday with the support of an incredible crowd. In about two and a half months, the rowing boats will arrive in Waskaganish after weeks of rough sailing and carrying. This great adventure will allow you to trace the Route of Furrures, a landmark road of historical...

I can not hear “Green Onions” by Booker T and the MG’s without thinking of you guys, was looking forward to another fine video.

My wife was born in Darmstadt, we visited the area in the 70’s, beautiful.

Nice trip, was looking forward to seeing one of your wood canvas canoes in the pictures, oh well, next time. Lows is a great destination, Thanks for sharing your time there.

I have been to La Verendrye quite a few times, some early in spring during the first week the reserve was open, other times the last week of operation. My favorite time was early August, maybe the first week or two. Most trips were about a week iirc. I rarely saw anyone else. I have heard that...

I’m stuck at a Tim Hortons in Happy Valley, Labrador, not a good place to be after quitting carbs and sugar, (dropped 26 lbs, blood work shows nice improvements). Blizzard conditions yesterday from Labrador City to here, started slowly, then full on white outs. Route 510 is closed from here to...

Yes, I would say it is fine for an 11 yo. Canamiti Creek has some fast water to paddle up at the portages, but no rapaids, just a steady current irrc. Not hard at all. I liked the campsite on the island I mentioned, although it might be small, we only had one tent. Nice site downstream at the...

I did #61 yers ago with my son, it was very nice. We did it in the spring with lots of water, a friend did it in August and had issues with low water. I guess you could get info on water levels when you buy your permit. We saw 6 moose in one day. paddling upstream on Canamiti Creek was easy...

With all due respect to samb, I was thinking England. They have an active website “Song of the Paddle” which states its purpose is for all canoe users who hear the song of the paddle and its most popular part of its forum is the discussion about “open canoes” (what a concept, sorta like this...

Looking forward to following your trip, safe travels.

There should be a law against adding foot pedals, rudder and a floor mounted seat to a canoe, then paint it Chestnut grey and name it a Cruiser

I sold this Kevlar Explorer for $800 about 8 years ago, fresh pant and wood, no hull repairs. Spring time is a tough time to find good deals. Before After,

No plans for taking a canoe, this is basically a road trip to see remote Labrador, Newfoundland’s coast and hopefully some icebergs. A lot of Newfoundland’s back roads are loaded with potholes from the info I have gathered so I leave the canoe home. Also, bringing a trailer on the 3 ferry's...

It hasn’t been mentioned yet, but that Wenonah is not suitable for solo paddling of which the Mad River is (canoe reversed, solo paddler sitting on the bow seat facing the stern seat). I would take the Mad River Explorer for its versatility, rivers, streams, solo, tandem, big lakes, just a...
