Winisk to the Bay - Team
The Hide-Away Canoe Club was founded in 1981 and has been canoeing historic
canoe routes in Canada's north almost every year since. In 1985, as part of
a 1000 mile, 55-day trip, they named a river after Eric Morse, the Dean of
Canadian wilderness canoeists, while he was still alive. The group's
regular crew consists of the four Peake brothers -- Michael, David, Sean
and Geoffrey, the Rev. Peter Scott, Peter Brewster, Andrew Macdonald and
Tom Stevens. In the last 18 years they have paddled thousands of miles of
wilderness waters from the Yukon to Ungava. Click here for a list of all of the The Hide-Away Canoe Club trips.
