The more I kayaked past Newfoundland’s weathered coastline the more I wanted to get out of my boat and walk.

I wouldn’t call myself a kayaker. I prefer paddling a canoe, even if I do have to portage now and then. But I also wouldn’t consider myself a canoe snob either. Any soft-path vessel is fine by me as long as it gets me into a wilderness area.
