Video by Steve Best: Paddling with the FONz

Thanks to Steve for his fascinating presentation at our club meeting on accompanying an eight main team of wounded veterans along their journey up the inside passage. Steve paddled alongside this amazing group for the Port McNeil to Prince Rupert leg of their journey this past summer. The group is Team Forces of Nature (affectionately called the FONz).

For those who missed it or would like information on their route, here's his presentation on video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xh5-cZvdTiE
