Linda Gordon and Allan Jacobs are paddling northeast Georgian Bay.
We start from the Naiscoot River on 15 July, head north and west for 4 days, return and head home on 24 July.
We're looking for two companions, in kayaks. Allan Jacobs
Every summer a few of us go on a paddling trip - either by canoe or sea kayak. Past ones have included the Stikine, Clearwater, Nahanni, Missinaibi, Wind, Coulonge, Gwaii Haanas, Pukaskwa, and others.
This July 2-11, my wife and I will paddle our Necky tandem kayak about 100km south from Michipicoten along Superior's east coast. Highlights include the cleanest water in Canada, granite, sandy coves, and maybe a lake trout. We are both over 60, so are obviously having difficulty shaking this paddling addiction.

My canoe partner and I will do the Churchill from Otter Lake to Sturgeon Landing on the Weir. If time and conditions allow from Sturgeon Landing we will get a haul to Cormorant Lake and proceed down that blue clear body of water to Clearwater Lake – an even more blue and deep clear lake and follow its shore line to the Pas Airport where we will embark upon our return travel.
The trip runs from 26 July to 19 August. You can follow us on SPOT tracker

Have a look at what Helen and I have been up to recently there is a video on utube of our Madawaska Wine and Cheese Float and also a sample of pictures taken that weekend on Flickr.
hope you enjoy

I don't know if it fits.... That is, I'm not in a canoe this summer. This year, as in others, it's all vicarious. I'm scanning documents and slides from canoe trips of the fifties through seventies. Much of this material is like a time capsule and hopefully will give future researchers a valuable resource.

Tony Way heads to Rankin Inlet for a flight to the Lunan River, Nunavut for a 2 week PakCanoe trip down the Quoich River with Wanapitei Canoe. He will be re-united with Tom Randgaard and Fred Ingram who were on the ’07 R. Eau Claire trip in Nunavik (Quebec). Getting in shape gets harder and harder!
EDITOR: Is there a way to post such a “blog” directly on our website?
Aside from the ever present whitewater day trips here in the northwest US, I have two wilderness trips planned. Next week I leave for a week long trip on the Nanika-Kidprice route near Smithers BC.
This route recently received park status. A few portages, snow capped peaks, and a string of lakes all combine to make this a great route.
The more extensive trip of the year involves a trip on Oregon's Rogue River. It was one of the first rivers in the US to be given a Wild and Scenic designation by an act of Congress. But that is not the main reason for my trip. Circa 1924, my grandfather and a friend were the first to paddle the Rogue River in a canoe, from Grants Pass, to the Pacific Ocean at Gold Beach. In September, my son and I will recreate that trip, using a wood and canvas canoe. The Temagami Canoe Company, Canada's second oldest canoe builder, has graciously loaned us a canoe for the journey. The trip will involve paddling just over 100 miles of river, with rapids to Class IV. While we expect to portage all of the IV's and probably some of the III's, we should still be able to run the rest. Besides connecting with my grandfather, the trip is also an opportunity to show the durability and versatility of a wood and canvas canoe.
Catch your eddies!
