Norm Crerar and Gib McEachern spent a half-dozen years enlightening their coffee bar buddies about the good old days of canoe racing. When their ever-patient chums finally suggested they write a book, Crerar was more than happy to oblige. Journals of the New Voyageurs chronicles the Flin Flon duo’s rise from skinny teens paddling the chilly spring waters of Phantom Lake to their famed victory in the 1967 Centennial Voyageur Canoe Pageant. “I really go back and tell the whole story of Gib and I and growing up in Flin Flon and all our racing days,” says Crerar, who, like McEachern, now calls Vernon, B.C., home.
