Yorkville Fire Station food drop-off.  That returning fire truck will have to wait!

I forget what happened!

FOR HISTORIAN ATHLETES​ AND VOYAGEUR PHILOSOPHERS

13 canoes line up at our back-up paddle launch site early.  The Don was in rare white-water form.  Yet it was brown.

Looks like a leisurely paddle up the Humber.  The current is not shown - photos taken 20 minutes later were identical.  

Always seems to be relaxing at first.  There were calls to carry many more canoes.  Those calls died down a few km later.

It was quite crazy.  We clearly picked the best/worst time to be hanging out around the rivers.

2020 Davenportage

Special Thanks:

Shawn- for finding canoes in magical places; how you got these all together in such a relaxed fashion is your brand!

Mike O - for conducting the portage kick-off ceremony with passion and wisdom

Jake and Caitlin - for organizing and guiding the run and the general event.  Caitlin knows that the only thing to do when the trail disappears underwater is to go underwater with it!

Colin - for hosting the night-before party, driving the rig around town, helping to generally organize, and carrying Nick's lifeless body to the finish (again)

Marilyn and the Tollkeeper's Cottage team -for once again (year 6) providing unmatched hospitality, great pea soup, biscuits, authenticity and smiles!

Emma C-C - for doing such a great job of getting the word out to the University of Toronto's Outdoor Club; stoked participation!

Torontoadventures.ca - for loaning us 8 canoes and all of the life jackets and paddles we needed.  Super convenient to be able to drop them off by the Humber after the paddle! 

David Slaughter - for capturing some great shots, including the two beautiful fall pictures on this page
