Canoe
goes into water
On
April 27, 2000 - The group is excited and nervous today
because the canoe is being put into the water. It takes
a couple of hours to get the canoe into the water. Everyone
takes part using ropes and pulleys.
The
maiden voyage takes place from the Celtic Shipyards
located on Musqueam lands to the Maritime Museum in
Vancouver.
Naturally
everyone is nervous, but with determination the crew
gets in the canoe whilst Bob Baker drums a song. Without
much practice the inexperienced crew quickly notice
that the canoe is kind of tippy.
The
crew paddles for four (4) hours.
The
day after we first put the canoe into the water we had
the ceremony.
