Down the Ottawa and up the St. Lawrence. The author of The
Rideau and The Timiskawa Navigators shows us how to cruise these
two waterways in a safe, enjoyable and seamanlike fashion. The ice
may still be on the water when Doug starts us off with the planning
and preparation phases. He has us studying the charts, laying off
distances, figuring our time lines, making our lists and checking
our gear. Then he takes along the rivers, telling of their
histories, what to see and do and what to watch for. He describes
the great ships plying the Seaway, and what they mean to us in our
little craft and he does it all in his own unique style. Serious
advice is lightened by his wry sense of humour.
Each chapter ends with a Rumrummer Tale, a story of those
fascinating characters who freighted booze across the water every
means, conceivable and otherwise.
