Your mom and I are so proud of your achievement, Stephen, which we know took more than 3 months on the actual Mississippi River itself, plus several more months of pre-trip preparation such as testing gear and evaluating routes.
You overcame some tough obstacles, including gators, monster boat wakes, extreme fatigue, sunburn, blistered hands, and a broken water jug, to name but a few.
But you persisted through it all and achieved something great.
Wowza!!!! Congratulations, J-C!!! We celebrate with you, though we will all surely miss sharing in your fascinating journey every day. Have a safe trip home - hope to see you soon in Minnesota so I can give you a big hug! And find out what’s next on your adventure list!!

Well a BIG Congratulations, Jean-Canot! You paddled the Miss in style and savored all her nuances. I’m so happy you had time to enjoy South Pass Island…and with new paddling friends. Thankful to have met you way up north…as well as Leland and Joe. ☀️🛶
