That was interesting Bill, thanks for posting it.

Interesting read. Thanks.

That's quite the canoe cart he has. How the heck do you get over the Continental Divide with a canoe? Walk lots of miles on roads with the cart, I guess.

We've often discussed windage problems and gear trim, so I found this sort of amusing as well as heroic:

He passed under the George Washington Bridge on an ebbing tide, into a south wind so strong it spun his canoe around. For only the second time in 7,500 miles of paddling, Moore couldn’t turn the craft back through the wind. So he paddled backwards, all the way to midtown.

Thanks Bill. It is refreshing to find a traveler who treats his experiences as a journey rather than a feat.
“I’ve been exploring from the very start not just the waterways, but us as a nation, us as a people. Sharing the journey with my friends, and them sharing their journeys and their spirits with me, speaks to what this expedition has been about from the beginning.”
