Re: Turning the keelboat
Peter,
A summer expediton that covers much of the same route in canoes can
be found in the book DISTANT FIRES. It is a good winter read and is
probably available on the web as a used book. The first part of the
book covers from Duluth, up Lake Superior, through the Boundry Waters
and the second half goes through the part covered in the "Quest for
the Bay".
More on topic for this site, the author uses a canoe made of Kevlar
and commentary that runs through the book showcases the benefits of
this material for its lightweight and ability to absorb abuse.

They seemed to have set off with a minimum of experience with the
boat, and they had a serious leak problem at the outset.

To All:
Please checkout our photos of our turning over Bolger's keelboat at

One of our group is an engineer and had the whole thing planned out and
it went off without a hitch.
