Pair Paddles Northern Forest Trail in Handmade Canoe
16 Jul
William Hafford and Eileen McCue recently paddled the length of the Northern Forest Canoe Trail in a wood-canvas canoe Hafford built himself. The recent college graduates completed the 741 mile trip in 51 days.
The Kennebec Journal of Maine recently published THIS story about the pair.
“It’s a very powerful thing (being in a boat you built), but it’s kind of the double-edged sword,” Hafford explained to the Journal’s Travis Barrett. “You’re nervous about it in some rapids, but maybe we paddled too conservatively because of it in some places.”
Hafford and McCue documented their voyage with THIS blog.
