These canoes were docked on the Red Cedar at MSU in a kind of funny location. This is only about a hundred yards upriver from the stepoff behind the Admin building, and that would wreck most canoes.
Community of Santa SofÃa (Amazonas, Colombia)
Men work from 7am to 4 pm daily for 2 weeks to build a canoe by hand that will be used by members of the community to go to Leticia, a nearby community. Twice weekly, this motorized canoe will take a maximum of 30 people to buy groceries and run other errands. People will also use their canoe to go to soccer games or attend mass for special celebrations. Gasoline and other expenses are shared by the community members. As such, canoes are a key resource for the communication and mobilization of communities along the Amazon River.

Piscataquis County has its own canoe race each spring, one week after the more famous Kenduskeag Stream race in Bangor. Compared to Bangor, ours is a low-key affair: shorter (8 miles); an 11:00 a.m. race start; usually fewer than 200 boats; and no live television coverage. Racers finish in Dover-Foxcroft, across the road from Foxcroft Academy.
In the photo above, the leading boats of the first group to launch approach the Piscataquis River bridge in Sangerville, a short distance below the Guilford launch site.

Canoes seem to make it over Presbyterian Falls successfully much more often than kayaks. The higher gunwhales and boat length help alot. It also helps to have a boat that is not full of water. The operation you see in this picture can be witnessed a thousand times any Saturday at this spot.
