Winnisquam Marine Canoefest 2000
Tuesday 09-05-00 The start- 9 canoes and two kayak's begin the journey down the perilous Pemigewasset River. The day was to be 30F, so 60F was already looking good.
Everybody nerviously awaits the start !!
Jeff and the family risk it in the turbulent waters
Jake struggles (with paddle flailing) to retain control of his kayak !!
Mooney bellows out a call for help as the canoe skips thru the rapids.
Steve and Nat, so tired they can barely hold onto their paddles, barely make it thru the big stuff.
Now the crews rest for the final event- ROPE SWING
Jake received extra points from the judges for artistic ability, However
Jamie pulled 5 G's on this one, But
Jerris won it all with this one. He's hoping Sydney will consider the "Rope Swing" a gymnastic event next week when the Olympic Games start.
To retrace the steps of these hero's- call Ski Fanatics @ 603-726-4327 and plan your own voyage. (they'll rent you the canoes, put you in and pick you up)
