Sunday June 8th at Belcarra Park
About 1 PM
The Mount Fairweather, the creation of historian and the man largely responsible for the popularization of the baidarka, George Dyson, will be launch from its current location in Belcarra Park, where it has sat idle for some 25 years. The 46-ish foot, 6 passenger baidarka is a fiberglass on aluminum frame bairdarka that George built many years ago.
It has been stored in Belcarra Park across the Indian Arm Channel from Deep Cove, North Vancouver, where there are several houses in the Metro Vancouver Park. The "white house" sits adjacent to where George's famous treehouse was located. The future of the houses located in the Park is uncertain, and the Mount Fairweather has to be relocated and I believe they are looking for a permanent location.
Here's some info about George Dyson:
Co-subject of the book, "The Starship and The Canoe"
TED Talk Lecturer: "History of the Computer", and "The Story of Project Orion"
