May 7th, 2016. 37 boats launched into Lake Charlevoix. Time lapse created on an old GoPro... as far as the battery would take it.
Interested to know your training for this and if you’re a runner?
Hi, Kevin. Speaking for myself, I am a runner (road) and “try” to stay in marathon shape. In the Midwest with no hills, I ran a couple sessions in parking structures to try and simulate incline/decline. I was seriously underprepared. Returning up the south rim was basically a death march and I relied upon my trekking poles and arms to get up every step. Lesson learned for me for next time!
Huge congrats gentlemen!! 21hrs is murder! Incase you didn't get the memo, Grand Canyon rules: 1) If you blow up in the Canyon, you owe the canyon a redemption run(or hike). I've run there quite a bit, but I don't do the R3. My daughter and I did our 6th R2R run, mid-Aug. 2022, and after ramping my training way up, I returned on Oct. 8th to run my 10th, solo, at speed, and as a marathon distance, from the North Rim Lodge. We have a few vids posted to the channel. Love it there. Looking forward to going back!
This is amazing! I was visiting the Grand Canyon just a few days before you guys. I was in awe. I’m definitely going back to hike the whole thing. We only hiked a little of the south rim trail, some of our party weren’t hikers. Great job! I wish you could’ve seen the view from the south rim trail, its amazing.
Wow incredible! Putting this on my bucket list!
Congratulations! What an accomplishment!
Best blueberries in all the world.
Omg there’s me
Omg theres ME!!!!
Sweet video ! Fun to see our hometown folks having a good time.
Yes yes and yes! Pass on any of your resources you used to plan your trip! Would totally be appreciated!
Although it has much more than just the North Channel, we relied heavily on the Ports cruising guide when planning our trip. Here is a link to what I'm talking about. Happy planning! www.landfallnavigation.com/ports-georgian-bay-n-channel.html?gclid=CjwKCAiAwZTuBRAYEiwAcr67ObPWO0i9OTfcps7_ZeqSJNYQPRM1V33yJQwLVanVCMJB1u6EmBflLxoCiMQQAvD_BwE
Terrific video! Very inspiring for family adventures! We too love the Benjamin's and North Channel Cruising as it is right in our back yard. Thanks for sharing.
I guess im asking randomly but does anyone know a way to get back into an Instagram account..? I somehow forgot my login password. I love any tips you can offer me
@Devin Kairo instablaster =)
@Beau Garrett i really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Beau Garrett it worked and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D Thanks so much you really help me out!
@Devin Kairo no problem xD
It looks like you folks had an awesome trip. I'm a southern Georgian Bay boater. If you liked where you were, you really would like the 30,000 islands. It's a world all it's own. But I have one question. I have 3 sons and 1 daughter. After 1 week on the boat, we thought we would need to send the boys to a therapist. My daughter drove them nuts. You had 1 boy and a million girls. How high were your therapist's bill. lol
I have one girl and one boy. And now a wacak-doo fantasty to leave Lake Champlain, transit Ontario and Erie to the North Channel. Do you think I could keep my therapy bill under say 20K? ha!!!
Great video man. I have to sail the north channel after watching this. 👍
Am I the only one that noticed, the lack of a Canadian flags !!!!! Only one of the three boats.
Alas, true, David. I think only our boat has a proper courtesy flag halyard off the starboard spreader. Consider us fleet representative. Hopefully none of our fine and friendly Canadian hosts were offended.
@@Gr8laker1 Seems like a silly law anyway ..... I feel sorry for all those Caribbean cruisers and the15 -20 flags you would need to own.
It is a constant disrespect that's played off with a cold southern chuckle ( I smile so you're supposed to excuse my ignorance) u.s mentality ..they will actually focus in a shot on the u.s flag propaganda in canadian waters ...They really lack any kind of decorum, and we are at fault for being overly invested in our polite society to point it out to them..regardless it would be futile because of their inability to be shameable...so they travel the world with u.s.a on their sails and everywhere without an ounce of understanding that nobody is impressed and all else are merely being a polite in a maner that they have little to no understanding of how to reciprocae back
Great video. Thanks for taking the time to capture, prepare, and share. My partner and I sailing through this area this summer.
My buddy and his family owns a small island out by little current in I’ve always thought it’d be cool to sail out and meet him there. Sailing it from Michigan would be way more enjoyable than driving it. Mind if I ask how much time i should plan for a from Traverse to Gore Bay? Should give me a rough guestimate
Hey, James. Tough to be precise about travel time from Traverse City all the way to Gore Bay, but at normal sailboat speeds (i.e. 6 knot average) you'd be looking at one long day to Mackinaw area and then another long day to Meldrum Bay (where you'd check in with Canadian Customs). Then it's a much shorter day to Gore Bay for a full-service marina and grocery (great jump off point to the area islands with full fuel, empty holding tanks, food, beverage, and ice). Really don't think there's a good way to do that full haul in only two days.
Great video! Looking forward to doing the same trip this summer.
Yep Canada has the best of the Great Lakes.
Great video guys! Di and I have touched on some of your stops, Benjamin's and Fox as an example. Your video add new perspectives and showed the good time you all had in spades! Thanks
Thank, Roy. I recognize your unique boat from your thumbnail and know I’ve enjoyed some of your North Channel videos in the past as well! Cheers.
@@Gr8laker1 I enjoy posting as well but you have taken it to a high level! Keep posting and Have a great Christmas! Best/Roy
Great video!! We'll be up there soon and watching this made us even more excited! Our little guy will be 1 1/2 on this North Channel trip, but I hope in future years he has as much fun as your kids seem to have had :-) - Dana
Ben-Dana Thanks! I admire your ambition to make the trip with a little one. Have a great trip--we're heading back next year for sure.
