From the Back Cover

A Couple's Wilderness Journey from Lake Superior to the Canadian North
Julie Buckles and Charly Ray built a wood and canvas canoe, exchanged marriage vows, and paddled away from their front yard, planning to travel 2,700 to the Arctic Ocean and winter over in a tiny cabin. What a honeymoon! Told in Julie's page-turning style, their story is full of humor and humility, rapids and relationships, love and life.
"My evening tea was entirely forgotten as I became lost in the narrative. This is a gem." -- Garrett Conover, Beyond the Paddle, Snow Walker's Companion
