Paddle of the Century
40 years ago, Don Starkell and his teenaged sons set off from Winnipeg’s Red River on a world-record-setting canoe trip.
Don Starkell wasn t the kind of guy to shy away from improbable odds. So when people told him his dream of paddling a canoe from Winnipeg to the Amazon was impossible, it fuelled his determination to do it.
