With a father like Bill Mason, the guy's really gotta know about canoeing.

That rapid was way too harsh to be done by people who just learned how to paddle!

(Rick Mercer ftw)

The first one was ok, just a nice little wave deal. No holes, not bad stuff.

That second one though.... Looked like a real munchy hole off to the river left side.

@acodega its really not that bad... especially since the eddy at the bottom is the size of a football field

What? Would you rather we all watched Rick Mercer drown on The Rick Mercer Report? That would suck, wouldn't it? To see Mary Walsh standing there, saying, "I guess you're stuck with me now, my darlins."

Rick Mercer Rocks!

Yes and that was all done at the Lorn Rapids on the Main Channel. it looks like some time in early September. its a super super easy line at high water. no wonder they went there. its like the easiest access point on the whole river.
