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?  8)   I wonder where they got the canoes made ??  Some that size today would probably cost more than my Subaru Stationwagon!
