Labrador Coast/Korok River Trip, 1995

Another canoe trip video that I digitized and edited from Dick Irwin’s Hi8 tapes.
In 1995 we paddled up the Labrador Coast for about 300 miles and went into Nachvak Fiord in the heart of the Torngat Mountains and then up the Palmer River and down the Korok River to Ungava Bay and the village of Kangiqsualujjuaq. We took 6 weeks to complete the trip which included several days off for hiking and bad weather.
You can see a slide show of the trip www.alstirt.com/labrador-coas...

    I just heard from Dick Irwin, who did the filming. I ws wrong about it being VHS. It is a Sony Model No. CCD-TR101. The tapes are video Hi8 not VHS.
