Hearty Canadian crew steps back in time to trace the footsteps of early Canadian fur traders

Truth is not only stranger than fiction, its a lot more interesting and far more engaging. The trials of the 7-man, 1-woman crew of Bob The York Boat is a delight to history buffs and a magnificent drama for the rest. Inspired by its older sister "Pioneer Quest - A Year in the Old West" Quest for the Bay tells the story of 8 Canadians who step back into the 1800's to experience the challenges of Yorkmen who ferried cargo and furs up and down the rivers between Lake Winnipeg and the Hudsons Bay. The crew must leave behind all vestiges of modern life, living, working and struggling exactly as the Yorkmen of an earlier age. The drama is incredible and I found myself feeling sorry for these people as they face great trial and peril and cheering them on with each small victory against the gale winds of Lake Winnipeg, beaver dams, rapids and mosquitoes. The entire Quest series (..for the Bay, ..for Gold, ..for the Sea and Pioneer Quest) should be mandatory viewing for students in both Canada and the U.S. Remarkable!!
