Canoecopia 06 – Chapter 1

If There’s Rock Show
At The Concertgebo
They’re Got Long Hair
At The Madison Square
You’ve Got Rock And Roll
At The Hollywood Bowl,
We’ll Be There, Oo Yeah . . .wings

Sometimes experiences hit you in one big cornucopia of colors and sounds and other times you perceive large events in a series of little snap-shot moments. That’s how Canoecopia passed for me this year. I have all these little moments that I can remember but just beyond them everything is out of focus. So for the next few days I’ll write a bit about the “little moments”.Interestingly even the photos this year seem to be more focused on one person or some small element of the event. Fasinating. So, Let’s just look at some pictures. (top gallery) And yes, I was sure to get a couple of Nigel Foster’s Rumour, as well as the Valley Rapier especially for Josh! We were impressed with Impex’s Force Cats as well.

I only turned on the camera for a moment and ended up with a full 30 minute rolling demo by Mark Schoon of Carpe Diem Kayaking on digital video. . . and in widescreen format as well!! That’s what happens when you can’t bring yourself to hit the “stop” button. I expect I’ll be watching it a few times. :) . Mark was my BCU 4 star training coach in Georgia last fall so it was nice to see him again.

    MMM, is that Rapier gonna be Mary’s next boat?

    Goodbye party for Simon tonight, which also happens to be the Jewish holiday of Purim.

    We were just joking about that. . . “Now Mary wants. . . ” but no, it’s a bit more than what she wants to deal with. She would like to get one of those new formed seats and put it in her Greenlander.

    Say Hi to Simon for me!

    Any chance of posting video of Mark rolling?

  • derrick says:

    Yeah, it would be cool but I feel like I should get Marks permission first, then maybe I could put clips up of some of the more unique rolls. If more people are interested let me know and I will see if I can chase him down and ask.

  • Richard says:

    Yeah, I’m interested in seeing the video.
