What a lovely day for the Vintage Boat Classic. Peter paddles his mother (93 yrs) in the cedar strip canoe built by his dad in 1989 - it was a nostalgic ride.

The Paterson War Party (family and friends) paddled in unison and looked like they were enjoying themselves!

Jim Stewart, Chairman of the Board at the Canadian Canoe Museum stands proudly beside the Vagabond, Farley Mowat's boat, donated to the museum.

Peter, Hunter and Dave Saxe take a spin in one of the Elmhirst Anglers, rental boat of the 1970's on the Resort - they went to Keene and back without incident...we used people years, not dog years, for their qualifying tally of over 100 years (combined boat and captain).

Crowds on the water.

John Summers, General Manager of the Canadian Canoe Museum, sailed in the Clementine, looking very serene and in control.

The First Annual Vintage Boat Classic Paddle was won by the Knapp's in their slick Meander. A donation of $500 was given to the Canadian Canoe Museum for future programming. I look forward to seeing you all next July 03 for the second annual Classic.

The day ended with fireworks for our American friends....Happy 4rth of July!
