Sometimes my family(4 homeschoolers,wife,myself)takes large boats as far as we can,then we each take a canoe or small boat into different areas with shallower water.After filling a canoe,back to a(freight)boat to unload,then back out.When a large boat is filled a(crew)takes it in to unload. If our Norsemen got along with the locals and could split into small parties with a similar system they could cover a lot of territory.Imagine what they could do with a few pack animals going overland to rendezvous with their watermen up or downstream. If they were going to make their trip pay they would have come as well prepared as possible to explore the land and carry home anything of value.

Geez, FT, you make me feel like I was 10 years old again. Where do you live, Alaska? It sounds like you'd like to see America again like it was back in 1362...

Might have liked to try it myself when I was younger, but right now here in Fla. I turn on the heat if it gets under 50 outside.
