Tremendous level of detail you unearthed. I've seen photos of such touring canoes, but didn't know their origin. Fascinating.

Thanks, Jill! I felt like I needed to do a lot of expository before getting into the adventure.

The description of the butternut suit has a strong Mark Twainish vibe.

I love the way they make the thousand mile test paddle seem like a walk in the park! I am astounded at how much equipment you can carry on two canoes, they were more like barges! Great use of AI images as well Lori

Thanks! One of my favorite quotes from local newspapers suggested George and William were “gentlemen paddlers out for a pleasure cruise” lol
