THREE POINTS OF CONTACT: Andy Gulland just met that entry/exit rule on a UK WCHA summer outing. Both he and the canoe ended up in the correct direction………..surprisingly! Photo Nick Dennis #woodencanoeheritageassociation #peterboroughcanoe #woodencanoes #canadiancanoemuseum

AUTUMN: “And all at once, summer collapsed into fall.” – Oscar Wilde. A great paddling season. Grab a canoe, paddle, sweater and enjoy #woodencanoeheritageassociation #chestnutcanoe #woodcanvascanoe #canadiancanoeculture #canadiancanoemuseum

You forgot one current definition.

PORTAGE - obsolete Fr. word outside of Canada, meaning: the painful consequence of poor route planning.

Since Nick opened up the topic of the portage I thought everyone might be interested in the collection of videos surrounding the "Final Portage", describing the move of the Canadian Canoe Museum's collection of canoes from its old site to the brand new museum opening this coming Spring.
These can be seen in the link following https://canoemuseum.ca/new-museum/ways-to-support/move-the-collection/the-final-portage/
Sorry I'm technically challenged and can't post the videos directly so no picture here.

Gary, those videos are great! What a clever way to bring attention to the new museum location and also thank their sponsors.
