A trio of Île-Perrot kayakers are a month and a half into the journey of a lifetime.

Julien Granger, Luc Labelle and Nuka De Jocas-McCrae left Montreal's Old Port on May 16. They plan to travel along the eastern coast of the United States until they reach the tip of Yucatan, in southeastern Mexico.

"We're seeking adventure," said De Jocas-McCrae.

"We're young and we wanted to do this. There's a lot to learn and it's a chance to meet people in a humane way."

The journey is more than 9,000 km, and they estimate it will take about 15 months. So far, they've paddled nearly 700 km, with their longest stretch covering 145 km in three days.
