Yesterday we did an arrival ceremony at the Lac du Bonnet public beach. We begin with the nine canoes performing a figure eight maneuver. Turning the boats and zipping past the canoe which has just crossed in front while not making it look like chaos requires lots of communication and planning. After two circuits, we lined up and then one canoe fires a shotgun blank, a responding gun is shot from shore, we shout three cheers and then we race the boats to the shore and then break hard at the last instant before actually touching the shore. Today was our day off and everyone enjoyed the time to do some laundry, rest and enjoy this small town - we especially enjoyed the restaurants.
