This is a neat little short film from the early '60's.

Yup,I thank ya too! That was very entertaning and some good info. Even if your not "into" the voyager, it is a really good investment of 20 minutes,especially full screen. (my wife can run this stupid thing through the T.V.!)

I LOVED the food descriptions!  Sure wish the guy at the tiller/paddle had left the "buddy holly" eyeglasses at home..., but what do I expect for a film more than four decades old eh?     I wonder where they got the canoes made ??  Some that size today would probably cost more than my Subaru Stationwagon!

There are some faux bark canoe builders out there that do some big ones....but yeah, they ain't cheap. I know a guy that'll build you a real one that size...mega-not cheap!!

Our club owns two North Canoes and is also storing two
privatley owned ones........they are supposed to be
worth $12,000.00ea.
