Post-breakfast, paddlers shared stories of their difficulties and successes on route—tales of
rugged portages, exhaustion-induced hallucinations and hidden river entrances. We talked about why we had signed up this year and why, even though many had sworn just hours prior that they’d never do it again, most of us probably will. It was a kayaker, Allyson McDonald, who summed it up best: “If you’re not moving, then
you’re dying.” Aside from the occasional gig playing advisor to Hollywood, teaching Pierce Brosnan how to
throw a knife and paddle a canoe, Hap Wilson is an author and artist. Over his four decades spent as a writer and researcher, he has published 12 books.
