Kwakiutl - Powell River (Day 97)

Our day started at the Kwakiutl Band longhouse. It was a great site with the fire burning in the middle, the drums and the dancers. The weather was also good and I was part of the running crew this morning.

We were greeted by great crowds in Port McNeil where we finished with of my co-worker being the last torchbearer - he holds the Canadian record for 800 m. He had a great smile and it was nice to see.

We got into convoy mode to catch the ferry to Powell River for more torchbearers and an evening celebration. Tomorrow the flame will make it way to Sechelt, Gibsons and Squamish, I'm on a schedule day off but will send an update as I will be on the ferry with the flame.

Carpe Diem,

Chuck
