My old friend the Abandoned Canoe, still in fine form! She's got a spirit and character all her own. She carried me and Saku 1000km across the wilderness of Labrador and Quebec, spent 4 harsh years tied to a remote tree, bitten and clawed by black bears, and still lives on! If she could only talk, she'd tell a few stories! It was well worth the 8000km drive and 200km canoe trip to retrieve her.

The other day I ripped her down a small stream in Newfoundland. It's invigorating to feel the power of a river push one along! There's nothing like it.

This Esquif Prospecteur canoe was and still is a durable, enjoyable boat to paddle. Perfect for expeditions alone or with a partner. It's 15 feet and weighs 60lbs. A capable, hardy vessel.

Wishing you great adventures this weekend! There's no time like the present to get after it!

More to come,

Justin
