Flatwater

I am looking to gather a group of experienced flatwater canoeists (kayakers welcome) to explore that part of Georgian Bay, 4 days, inclusive. No more than 6 people. Looking to enjoy the spectacular beauty of that part of the Canadian Shield. The idea behind this trip is to explore and take in the incredible beauty of the region not to cover long distances quickly. NOTE: As moving between these islands requires being out in deep, open water both people paddling tandem in a canoe need to be strong, experienced flatwater canoeists and both have to be very comfortable paddling in open water far from the shore.
