Johnson, Keith Canny, Kate Ellis, Dave Dahl.   Kevin Shriver and Io Harberts were down at the river bank.  Rick Lorenzen took the photo with Dave Dahl's camera.      Dave Dahl posted 4 pictures like this on the Minnesota Canoe Racers Group Email site.   I also found another canoe racer and blogger who knows what it feels like to paddle against the wind who wrote:  “But here we were on the river, the wind blasting us like so many helicopters trying to land on us.”   Evil Geezer  Canoe Racing  blog         9:39:23 PM    comment []
