I enjoyed this article, it reminded me of Bill Bryson's A Walk in the Woods and his quiet, casual way of looking at the world. Rhyno has that same, self-deprecating style, unafraid to reveal that he started his journey going in the wrong direction.
Knowing this trail exists, made me think of the many trails available to me by walking out my front door and heading to Edmonton's river valley. There are many trails I have yet to travel all within easy reach.
A Sailing Trip Down the St. Lawrence - and Down Memory Lane by Abi Hayward. Another gentle narrative of a sailing trip that brought up memories of family and how sailing is part of the author's history.
There is some discovery too, in the Sailors Church, Notre-Dame-de-Bon-Secours in old Montreal and the votive ships that hang from the ceiling.
A good travel story does not necessarily have to include a daring escape from a life-threatening situation. Sometimes, when things go well, and as expected, there is still a reward for the effort.
