There is nothing like a race to keep you going at a speed where you would normally quit after a while! I was there with my 2 sisters and 3 brothers to do the C4 class (3rd brother, 2 sisters, my other 2 brothers were in Roger Henry's warcanoe) We had a lot of trouble at the start with steering the C4 since we had never done it before. Once we got that straightened out though we had winning speed until we lost a paddle and had to go back for it. (no extras unfortunately) Even with the turnaround, we were only 50 odd seconds out of 2nd place. It was great fun in the C4 once we figured out how to handle it and we're aiming to win it next year. :) Great story!

Heh. Nice kid, though. And apparently Tom Murn was gobsmacked that you beat him. Heh. Nice kid, though.
