I am not surprised that I loved being out there (on the 3 Day Algonquin Canoe Trip), it was just a matter of time and your package deal was what I needed. But I really appreciate the way you showed us how to do it not only well, safely and properly, but with style. (My son) Viktor Hugo marched off to school rather proudly with his beaver stick… and great memories of what I am pretty sure was the start to our canoeing lifestyle.
