BEHIND THE SCENES: Sudbury family completes epic boat ride

Village Media reporter Heidi Ulrichsen tells the story of a Sudbury family who traded in everyday life for a one-year boating adventure

Last week, Sudbury.com brought you the amazing story of a local family who traded in everyday life for a one-year boating adventure.

Luke Booker, Shelly Werner and their two kids — along with the family’s dogs — recently completed the "Great Loop," a system of waterways that encompasses part of Canada and the eastern portion of the United States.  

“We were faced with challenges that we never thought we would be faced with,” Werner said. “We were rewarded with some of the coolest places that I've ever been in my life."

Reporter Heidi Ulrichsen, who wrote about the family's epic trip, was a recent guest on Village Media's "Behind the Scenes."
