PIctures of celebrities in canoes

And he's holding the gunnel with one hand. Tsk, tsk.

And the one handed air brace! I paddled Bull Sluice (via kayak--I have learned the error of my ways) in 1980 or so--it's not very open-boat friendly.

At his mountaintop ranch in Santa Barbara, California, in 1976, taking a break from his campaign. Dutch appears to have a proper J stroke.

Not a picture while paddling, but they paddled into the Boundary Waters Canoe Area to a campsite I had set up this past September and they had lunch in my wood stove heated tent. Folks should recognize the woman on the far left from TV and Movie work she has done. I paddled with them to the portage to the next lake.

You folks got it. Well done!
Interesting story behind the Jimmy Carter photo.
Thanks.

Here's a little Canadian content, should be easy to guess. The differences in canoes says it all, as far as I'm concerned.

Two Trudeau’s and a Mario?

The canoeist with the largest sculpture in the world, Mount Rushmore, is seen in 1905 with what could be a Rushton lapstrake canoe:



In 1914, he almost died in a 1,500 kilometer first descent of the River of Doubt in Brazil . . . now called Rio Roosevelt:

That looks like Pierre in his William Commanda birchbark. It is in the Canadian Canoe Museum now.

And not to get too political but Justin in that tupperware POS was the result of a very last minute desire by his PR people to have him paddle something for the cameras in Sudbury during last falls election campaign.
The look on his face says how much he was enjoying that experience...

In defence of Justin, as a canoeist, he has a nicely vertical forward stroke, and is wearing a PFD. Unlike his father in so many ways.

Not liking the oar TR is holding in the first pic.

Wood gunnels -yes
No PFD-yes
aluminum and plastic paddle-not so much

Location-Somewhere between Mario and Andrew

I know the name of the of the first "big star" but I cheated so won't post my "guess". I will say that I never heard of her but I'm not really into movies prior to WW2 (except for Chaplin, W.C.Fields and Sergei Eisenstein).

Well, then this one's for the little tramp in you:

CC?

A few people in history, like TR, demonstrated an almost super-human ability to bend the physical world to their will. Every chapter is jaw-dropping: "The River of Doubt: Theodore Roosevelt's Darkest Journey" by Millard.

Ya that book is a great read!

Very non-traditional with the man in the bow. Must be racers.
