Ungava on Floats

I've never gone this remote before, going for 10 days of fishing and paddling in Ungava Bay region of Northern Quebec. We'll be using my 185 as a platform and seeing what kind of adventures we can find.

I'll give a report and post pics when I get back.

Re: Ungava on Floats

Sounds like quite an adventure. Are you going by yourself or will there be other aircraft on the trip? Enjoy the adventure, I'll be looking forward to your trip report.

Be careful with the weather Brad, if it does not want to cooperate in your time frame, there is always another trip. Enjoy the adventure, where ever you end up. We wIll be interested in your report.

I got a Sat phone call today from Brad, eating fresh caught arctic char and having a good trip plus getting some good float flying-learning experience!
