Tribal Canoe Journeys of Pacific Northwest Native American Tribes, a significant cultural event that takes place once a year.
The Puyallup Tribe of Washington State was the host tribe for 2018 for all the Canoes sent by other tribes along the Pacific Northwest Coast. Tribes all along the coast traveled via paddling their traditional Ocean Canoes, beautiful, functional and ornate! These Canoe teams traveled from as far as Alaska, including far stretches of Vancouver Island, British Columbia and far stretches of Oregon Coast. Paddling for 4 to 6 six hours a day, some for over ten days, battling ocean current, heat and sheer physical exhaustion.
Each Canoe was fitted with a GPS Transponder and its latest position was updated in 30min intervals in the Website : paddletopuyallup.org/

This is the final setup. I tried a different kind of pulley first, but it ended up working much better to just use the simplest pulley I could find. I wanted big loop to go around the entire canoe which would allow for the canoe to hang upsidedown from how it is here. Upsidedown would allow it to drop directly unto a car. I didn't do it that way for now because the loops were giving so much under the strain that I thought it hung too low when not in use. eventually I'll probably work through that (webbing instead of rope, perhaps). I'll post new pictures when I get it hung upsidedown.
Stitches removed, and holes all sealed. First sanding complete. Should be able to glass tape the seams this evening.
By the end of this series me and Simon should have turned four sheets of ply and a lot of resin into a canoe. So either the last picture will be us gracefully traversing a river or a close up of the fishes.
