You might remember Euclid Benoit who built a SeaRey in Tillsonburg Ontario, which he eventually
sold and bought a Seabee.
He is looking for a co-pilot for an August adventure in Northern Canada.
Here below (and attached pdf) is his story.
If you are, or know this "copilot", please let him know..

"I am looking for a co-pilot as I have been planning a longer x/c trip for this August to parts of
northern Canada. Starting at my home airport in southern Ontario, Cytb to north of Lake Superior,
on to southern Manitoba, southern Saskatchewan to southern Alberta.
A few days exploring southern Alberta then pick up the two passengers, my wife Jan and her girl
friend Joan. On to Northern Alberta and British Columbia and touchdown in southeast Yukon
before crossing Great Slave Lake to Yellowknife.
Then southeast from Yellowknife to Fort Smith and the Wood Buffalo NATIONAL Park.
East to Churchill to see polar bears and Beluga Whales following the west shoreline of Hudson’s
Bay and JAMES Bay to Moosenee, back in Ontario.
Then home.
I originally signed up a friend/flying buddy to be my co-pilot. However, A few weeks ago his doctor
recommended against remote activities, option 1 gone.
Then I thought of another friend from Smith Falls Ontario but he will be at a family wedding in
Wales that time period.
Then I asked one of my hangar tenants with Lake experience and he got enthused until he got a
diagnosis of liver cancer, a week ago, terminal. He has contacted a friend in Muskoka, awaiting an
answer.
I just contacted my water endorsement instructor for my Searay, TIM Winger. He is committed
flying fisherman into camps in northern Ontario.
The Seabee has great panel with GARMIN G3X c/w ADSB, Autopilot etc. Etc.
Do you know anyone who might be interested. For part or all of the trip.
I have attached my latest draft of my trip plan to Yellowknife and Churchill leaving August 7. I am
looking for a co-pilot to come along and since I suspect you know a lot of pilots hope you don’t
mind my asking.
It will be a full plane. Myself, co-pilot, my wife Jan and her friend Joan.
I expect to be gone 3 weeks anyway. Leaving early morning August 7.
Thanks Euclid
