It was a perfect day at the beach for Arlene Heasmans' students from France. They were full of fun and phisical daring as they tried out my replica Eskimo craft. Then the Rouge Canoe club very generously lent them plastic sit-on-tops to try out and they had a wondergul time. They paddled on the estuary side of the spit and swam in the waves on the Lake side. A very active bunch, they showed the typical Gallic sence of humor. I don't think they really absorbed much of what I said regarding the history of Fenelon or the Eskimo use of the Kayak but the important thing is that they had fun in the sun and nobody drowned.
I wish them all the best, eh?
