BAHAHAHAHAH I forgot Dan had a swim. Best part of the trip ;) Awesome story-telling, Eric. I will never forget how many darn FLIES there were at thunder falls!! I've never seen so many in my life.
Hahahaha, and I was the one who brought Dan on that swim! It was crazy how it went from clouds of mosquitoes and blackflies, to deer flies, to hordes of large harmless flies. I wonder if that's normal or the product of climate change? Thanks again for the kind words! :)
Like when I watched part 1, I enjoyed every minute of this video. So impressive, what you all have done on this adventure! The filming and narrating is excellent, and the drone video adds so much. Unbelievably beautiful! Looking forward to part 3!
Definitely lots of fun, Ron! Wavy Rapids was an eye-opener - it got me every time, but in looking back at the footage, I feel like I know where my faults were. Live & learn! I’m looking forward to getting back out in the water next summer and perfecting what I started this year 👊💥 Thanks for watching and I hope you’ll check out Part 3 when I get it out in the coming weeks. 😊
Love, love, love this video! I'm old and can barely make it to the bathroom now. The doctors say after hip replacement, I'll be out in the woods hiking again. Maybe I can talk my son into taking me on this canoe trip. But until then, I really appreciate you videos! Thank you!
Thank you so much for the kind words, Patricia, I appreciate your support! I hope your hip replacement goes well and that you’re able to make it out onto the Missinaibi - it’s a beautiful river!
@@GreybeardAdventures it really is the best kind of learning experience for whitewater! You’ll be dancing around at Palmer next time like it’s nothing🙌
It’s such an awesome river, loved paddling the upper portion this past summer and looking forward to doing to lower half next year. 👍 Worthy of being on your list for sure!
We actually had a PFD for Lyra on this trip, but she proved that it was safer for her not to be wearing it on a whitewater river - on one of our dunks, she was able to swim under the gunnel of the toppled canoe and pop back up safely, whereas if she’d had her PFD on, she’d have been unable to do that.
