Episode 6: Boating and Fishing – Part 1: Boating
I’m not sure what I like more, fishing or boating. Yes, they do go hand-in-hand, but they are also things I can do separately with equal enjoyment. This is why I invented the world’s first fishing boat for the blind (www.blindfishingboat.com). This light-weight electric talking/beeping fishing boat represents an on-going research platform that I first […]
Episode 5: Hiking and Canoeing – Part 2: Canoeing
I’ve spent a lot of hours and days in canoes. This began way back in 1977, when 18 of us Venturers decided to canoe from Toronto to Prince Edward Island aboard two 25-foot warrior canoes built for speed. The trip took just over 40 days and had us paddling for at least half the time […]

Episode 5: Hiking and Canoeing – Part 1: Hiking
Hiking can cover a lot of territory, if not literally, then figuratively. In a nutshell, it really comes down to taking a long walk in nature.

Episode 4: Cross-Country Skiing and Ice Fishing – Part 2: Ice Fishing

But ice fishing, really? That’s what most people ask, or just assume it’s really an activity that is more about drinking. […]

Episode 4: Cross-country Skiing and Ice Fishing – Part 1: Cross-country Skiing
The first time we tried cross country skiing was on a path that follows the bank of the Rideau River not far from my house. The second time involved travelling outside the city into the Gatineau Hills to take advantage of some professionally groomed cross country trails. The first test went badly. The second went […]

Episode 3: Snowshoeing and Sledding ‒ Part 2: Snow Shoeing
After working up quite a sweat sledding in the morning, we now had an afternoon of snow shoeing to look forward to. Same two dogs, Sherman and Lewis, but this time it’s my wife, Anne who joined me while Theo took a well-earned rest. Andrew and Karen met us at a near-by forest with Sherman […]
