RUPERT RIVER - 1998

In 1998, taking two canoes, Bernard and his son Yoann set out from Lake Megouez down the Rupert River, through the northern forests around James Bay. The waters changed from interminable white water to long, slow-flowing sections resembling some huge river winding to the sea. Delightful sandy beaches offered welcome rest stops. Black bears and pike for supper were part of daily life. Bernard says that the Rupert River is one of the most beautiful bodies of water he knows.
