Quest for the Bay was a Canadian documentary television series which aired on History Television and the Public Broadcasting Service in 2002. It is the second entry of producer Jamie Brown's "Quest series", which includes ''Pioneer Quest: A Year in the Real West'' (2001), ''Klondike: The Quest for Gold'' (2003), and ''Quest for the Sea'' (2004). Frank and Alana Logie, a couple who had previously participated in ''Pioneer Quest'', made a cameo appearance during the first episode. It was the highest-rated program on History Television in 2002 and received favourable reviews from newspapers—most notably, the Edmonton Journal. RoseAnna Schick, the sole female crew member, wrote a personal account of the journey for ''Manitoba History'' later that year.〔Schick, RoseAnna. "My Quest for the Bay". ''Manitoba History''. 22 Sep 2002〕 The five-part series was produced by Winnipeg-based ''Frantic Films'' and was filmed during the summer of 2001. It followed an eight-person volunteer team (seven men and one woman) as they attempted to recreate the journey made by fur traders of the Hudson's Bay Company during the 1840s by travelling from Winnipeg to Hudson Bay. The trip covered a distance of 1200 kilometres (800 miles) and took the team though the heart of the Canadian wilderness. The crew members possessed only equipment used during the period, down to their food and clothing, and included a replica of a 40-foot wooden York Boat. The trip took eight to twelve weeks to complete, required the members to row between 12 and 14 hours a day, and forced them to navigate dangerous rapids and portages over a mile long as they ferried 4,000 pounds of cargo and furs up the rivers between Lake Winnipeg and Hudson Bay.〔 ==Crew== *Ken Albert, Jr. - 25-year-old power grid worker *Rob Clark - 45-year-old financial advisor *Geoff Cowie - 36-year-old University of Winnipeg student.
