Ah, that’s too bad. Oh well. 🙂
I think I’m going to let them know about a couple routes around me that aren’t on there yet.
I’ve been trying out a different one online… it’s just Northern Ontario, but it’s got a few canoe routes posted on it that I’m going to try out this summer. Try http://www.nomap.ca
Wait.. I can make a link right to Quetico park:
Is this sorta what you’re looking for?
heheh nice! 🙂
ooh… shiny =)
That sounds amazing. I’ve been dying to go to Japan for a long time now, but this may I’ll be going way up in Northwestern Ontario to do some work at an outpost. lol couldn’t afford the plane ticket anyway. Keep us posted about your trip! Take lots of pictures!
Canadian chick here, but I’ll be of no help with this subject. Never really done the solo, side sitting thing. You might be right about the kneeling things though. Whenever I’m paddling around with someone I end up on my knees. At the beginning of summer I can only stand it for 10 minutes or so, but by the end of summer it doesn’t seem to matter at all anymore.
From what I can see, looks like you only need to get used to sitting on the side.. then you can put in your regular strokes. Most important thing to learn is that j-stroke thing… they call it something else… I just call it the flicking j-stroke. You do the same motion but flick out instead of dragging the paddle behind you (which just slows you down). It’s the best thing to learn… I won a canoe race at Canada Day a couple years ago because of that stroke.
