  • Quest for the Bay was 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), ' (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 favorable reviews from newspapers, most notably, the Edmonton Journal. RoseAnna Schick, the sole female crew member, later wrote a personal account of the journey for Manitoba History later that year. The five-part series was produced by the Winnipeg-based Frantic Films and filmed during the summer of 2001. It followed an 8-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 traveling from Winnipeg to the Hudson Bay. The trip was 800 miles (1200 kilometers) and took the team though the heart of the Canadian wilderness. The crew members only possessed equipment used during the period, down to the food and clothing, and included a replica of a 40-foot wooden York Boat. The trip took eight to twelve weeks to complete, requiring the members to row between 12 to 14 hours a day, and forced them to navigate dangerous rapids and fortages over a mile long as they ferried 4,000 pounds of cargo and furs up the rivers between Lake Winnipeg and the Hudson's Bay.
