Andre spent most of the trip with no shirt and no shoes on (good thing there were no restaurants!). He was often our anchorman (pulling or holding the boat with a rope) and also seemed to find his way into a lot of mud.

Greg was only with us a couple of days, but we appreciated his hard work and easy-going attitude. He was a valuable member of the team!

Tim the Powerhouse had the incredible ability to pour on the power one minute and nap the next.

Always strong and beautiful, Cheryll Welke. She wears the red sash because of her Metis heritage.

Jack the Gentleman. If he looks a little tired, don't blame him! We rowed for 4 hours with only short breaks to get to Fort Vermilion on time.

Unloading the boat at the dock in Fort Vermilion.

After a few short speeches, there were photo ops. This is the crew with some Mackenzie County counsellors.

Chatting with the crowds that came to see us.

Some Metis girls danced for us, and of course, our Metis crew member joined in! (wearing the red sash) And isn't that a sweet little boy?

There was quite a crowd of people to meet us in Fort Vermilion when we arrived!
