Default Canoeing across Canada for beginners, by beginners

Abigail and Duncan Thomson wrote in message ...
So, you've read about the unstoppable voyageurs, the expeditions of
Alexander Mackenzie, Simon Fraser and David Thompson to "crack the
mountain ramparts" and map the Rockies. You've heard about the trials of
the 3 great portages to the Athabasca: La Vase Portages, Grand Portage
and the Methye Portage (aka Portage La Loche) and now you're imagining
embarking on a trans-Canada canoe (or kayak) adventure of your own.

If you've ever dreamed about canoeing across Canada, but thought you
weren't up to it, think again! For some tips, see:

Any constructive comments on the site will be warmly received. Thanks,

Duncan Thomson


A fine effort and a great website!
A minor quibble: You can't start in Montreal and "cross Canada".
You've missed four of the ten Provinces. As a Maritimer, I see this
claim made quite often.

Cheers from Nova Scotia (One of the Four)
