canoeing international waters

Anna and I decided that we should canoe to Eagle, Alaska, 150 km from Dawson city....sounds more epic that it is as the river moves pretty fast. It was supposed to take 3 or4 days but our fear of being eaten by a bear motivated us to do it in a day and half. Adventures included being heckled by the ferry to passes once a day, running aground a few times (neither of us knew how to steer, we went the whole way steering by switching sides to paddle) and being invited to a campfire at 1 am when we arrrived in Eagle.
