takes to the river
BIRD'S EYE VIEW - Pat Gridzak, Chris Hoffman and Kevin Barry kept an eye out
for canoes and carp from atop the bridge during Sunday's Optimist Canoe Race.
KEEPING DRY, Dave Dale stuck close
to his grandpa Floyd Dale while canoe -
spotting at the Optimist Canoe races.
NO PROBLEM - Jason Kloss can't figure out why his dad, Rick, looks so bushed
as they make their way downriver in the Parent -Child class.
THE PAIN OF IT ALL - This eager pad-
dler didn't look too tuckered yet, but he

A RARE SIGHT was Bob O'Brien in a canoe, getting a little help from a friend
at the starting line. "This is a snap," he proclaimed, and was never seen again
after the first bend. He and partner Samantha Nesbitt were forced to bail out of
the race early.
PINT-SIZED CREW - Dan Nichols may have paddled the Mike Dillon bringing his craft ashore at the end of the Seaforth
course solo, but he had plenty of help from Jeff Barry and Optimist Canoe Race.
