While my Mom was here for a visit, I took her down to Jamestown Beach with me to see paddlers from the Canoe Journey 2011 come in to shore. It was cool to watch them paddle and to hear them singing as they did it. Mom took the bottom photo.

Really nice Shannon! Last year the closest we saw them was at the Longhouse store near the Casino….they had a mass of them all parked there. Really beautiful looking…I’ll bet it was fun to hear them singing! You & your Mom got some good shots.
Wow. That’s quite an undertaking! It would be fun to see.
You ended up with MUCH better shots than the newspaper even published!! I hope you had a good visit with your folks and so nice that you & your Mom did some special things together. I miss my own Mother.
We saw this last year, including some of the welcoming and departure ceremonies. It was wonderful. There were at least 6-8 beached canoes then and they’re beautiful. Some were traditionally made and all were very big and heavy (my husband helped bring a couple ashore). I didn’t see any with sail rigging like your bottom two pictures. I love that they have this event.
I would love to see this. The second canoe was huge. Thanks for providing the link. Traditions like this are well worth keeping.
