<title>Down the St. Lawrence in a paper boat</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/20194/20120725/down-the-st-lawrence-in-a-paper-boat</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Jul 25, 2012) Rowboats are a common sight on the St. Lawrence River, but a paper skiff is making its way through the Thousand Islands and down river to Montreal this week. The 17-foot boat was made by a group of New York City artists at the Antique Boat Museum in Clayton. The urban artist/boat builders spent the last two weeks using the museum&apos;s collection and resources to build a new boat and learn more about the boating culture on the St. Lawrence. Their residency is a partnership with the museum&apos;s current exhibition of maritime-inspired art, called &quot;Floating Through: Boats and Boating in Contemporary Art.&quot;The artists are members of a Brooklyn collective called &quot;Mare Liberum&quot; and approach boat building in a non-traditional way: cheaply and quickly. With a little help from experts at the museum, they completed the boat in two weeks. But, a skiff made of paper? Could it really be rowed 168 miles past islands, through shipping channels and the St. Lawrence Seaway? Todd Moe stopped by the Antique Boat Museum late last week during the final stages of construction.

<description><![CDATA[ (Feb 23, 2012) Imagine racing over a frozen lake on a wind-powered sled, hitting speeds that top 40 miles an hour. Ice sailing is a big sport in winter and the north end of Lake Champlain has a growing reputation as one of the best venues in the northeast. Our Champlain Valley correspondent Sarah Harris headed out on the ice to give it a try.
