The trip was great. I didn't get to go for as long as planned but everything went great. Instead of navigating the Trent-Severn from end to end I headed up to the Leslie Frost Reserve near Algonquin park in Ontario. I took my two cousins, 14 and 16, and we travelled through 4 lakes and camped in some of the most beautiful places you will ever see. I took my 2 month old Chesapeake 17 through fast rapids, serene lakes and scenic rivers. We ate well, the boats performed great and the weather was perfect. Tahnks to all of you for getting me through the building process so that I could have such a memorable adventure.

What do you mean by "Sound-bite" type ads?

Thanks for your input. Dan Gunn
