my wife and I have always enjoyed our time together in the bwcaw. we have gone on three 2-3 day trips a year together for the past ten years. she loves the solitude and the beauty, but wants to be back to her hot shower after a few days. I prefer the 9-10 day trips but wouldn't give up my time with her for anything. When longer trips are needed my reliable paddle partners come to the rescue.

this past April we had a baby girl and missed our annual trips together. it's amazing how priorities change. I still managed to squeak in some trips but missed them both dearly.

We will be back in the canoe together come May.
