A 1,200-Mile Paddleboarding Pilgrimage<\/p>\n

by (author)\u00a0Dan Rubinstein<\/a><\/p>\n

In June 2023, writer Dan Rubinstein lashed camping gear to his stand-up paddleboard and embarked on an improbable solo voyage from Ottawa to Montreal, New York City, Toronto, and back to Ottawa along the rivers, lakes, and canals of a landlocked region.<\/p>\n

Over 1,200 miles and 10 weeks, he explored the healing potential of \u201cblue space\u201d \u2014 the aquatic equivalent of green space \u2014 and sought out others drawn to their local waters.<\/p>\n

But the farther Rubinstein paddled, the more he realized that being in, on, or around water does more than boost our mental and physical health and prompt stewardship toward the natural world.<\/p>\n

He discovered that blue spaces are also a way to connect with the kaleidoscopic cross-section of people he met and the diverse geographies and communities he passed through.<\/p>\n

Weaving together research, interviews, and an unmacho, malodorous, anticolonial adventure tale,\u00a0Water Borne\u00a0shows us that we don\u2019t need an epic journey to find solutions to so many modern challenges. Repair and renewal may be close at hand: just add water.<\/p>\n
