I went to Chris' slide show presentation about his trip at the 1999 CanoeCopia in Madison, WI.  Very interesting and inspirational.  I was amazed that he navigated with an ordinary road map of Ireland.  He used that very same map in his presentation.

I am reading "Undaunted Courage" by Steve Ambrose right now, the true story of the Lewis and Clark expedition.  Fantastic!
