Yelllowknife a fine starting point for your Great Slave journeys(and beyond)

Yellowknife is the perfect spot to start a trip on the lake. Historically many famous Arctic Explorations used the Lake as a starting point. From Yellowknife if you paddle hard enough you can reach three oceans. This involves some long trips, but they have been done before with gear no where near as nice as the stuff we have now.
Come on up and play much worse ways to spend your vacation you can be sure of that. Cheers, Greg

Comment by Greg Loftus ( Cominco) on September 5, 2011 at 6:49am: Paddled a Kruger seawind canoe on the lake today and it was very nice. Great boat

Comment by Greg Loftus ( Cominco) on June 28, 2011 at 5:14am: National Canoe Day, Number 26 was a great success with many Canadians showing their support for the canoe. Regardless of what you paddled yesterday, I am considering them all to be canoes for a day.

I was out the other da and had a great sail across YK bay and Back Bay to the river and a good into the wind paddle home. Cheers, Greg
