Ervin said outside Montreal, he saw a woman’s body being washed against the shore by the waves. He called 911 and waited for police. Ervin is lean and bronzed by winds and the sun. He paddles for five days in a row and then takes one rest day. He averages 40 kilometres per day, sometimes more. He did 60 kilometres on Tuesday before camping on Upper Duck Island on the Ottawa River.
