Gunwale Pumping Not As Dirty As It Sounds

It’s actually a lot of good clean fun, and an overall fave at last week’s Gunflint Trail Canoe Races. This video shows the two leaders in the Women’s competition; apparently a third competitor took the plunge early on.

Other races included Backward Paddling, Broken Paddle and a pulse-pounding cream puff eating contest (actually, that does turn me on just a little; those things are delicious.)

Proceeds from race day benefit the Gunflint Trail Volunteer Fire Department, among whom there is not a single cream puff. More power to ya, GTFD — thanks for being unafraid to get down ‘n’ dirty when danger calls! Via Boundary Waters Blog.
