Canoe-O Results Terri Magnus
After being beached by rain twice as I tried to set up punches, I was wondering whether the weather and busy convention schedule would allow anyone to complete the Canoe-O. I was pleased to discover that 16 groups did partake in the event (and also heard that at least 3 other groups went out and found controls but did not submit a punch card). In several cases, no time was stated on the card so I've listed them as if they took exactly 60 minutes. Thanks to Lex Bundschuh for paddling me out to the water controls. She went out a second day after we were marooned by a storm on the northern point of the lake near control 10. Thank you to Pat and James Russell who saved me a follow up trip to Sargent Center by picking up the punches Wednesday night. In addition, my family helped me scout out the course in advance and my son Paul trekked with me several times to hang streamers and punches on the drycontrols. Also a big thanks to the Sargent Center staff for all their help (providing and assisting with equipment, helping Lex and me off "Gilligan's Point", collecting our beached canoe when a second storm approached).
