I took this photo at our last campsite on the Bonaventure, on the lower river a few miles upstream from the ocean. When I first saw pictures of this river, the clarity of the water drew me in and I knew I had to paddle it. After several trips it continues to hold a spell over me with it’s beauty. The pool in the photo is 15-20 feet deep on the far side of the boat.

These boats are used by a lot of fishing guides in this region. I’ve always called them a “Y” Stern, based on how the transom is built, but there’s probably a more correct term.
