Canadian Canoe Museum, Peterborough, Ontario

Canadian Canoe Museum - Entrance

Andy Adams

The Canadian Canoe Museum in Peterborough, Ontario is an engaging, family-friendly place that offers a fascinating look at Canadian history as seen from a canoe. The museum’s mission is to help you Discover the Heart of Canada.

The museum is kept dark and each exhibit is carefully lit to ward off UV damage on these often delicate and very old canoes and artifacts. Also, it is much larger than you might expect and the displays really tell the story of Canada’s exploration and history by canoe. So, plan a whole day there. It’s well worth it and consider hitting the Canadian Canoe Museum on a weekend that promises rain anyway!

By Andy Adams

Up to this point, I feel that most electric boats have not been very exciting. The motors have been mainly small portable models for dinghies. There are some high-horsepower motors available, but they look like regular outboard motors to be used on conventional boats. Until now, there hasn’t been an electric boat that really makes a statement. Enter the ENVGO NV1.

Canada’s Superior: the North Shore

Story and photos by Jennifer M. Smith

We’d been north before on a short two-week cruise. At the time, we were unprepared for the isolation, the lack of cell phone coverage, and the spotty VHF reception. Since then we’ve repowered, installed Starlink, and retired from work. Now, with confidence in our engine and our connectivity and more time to sail, we were Superior-ready.
