Six years ago I had started to volunteer at Urban Boatbuilders doing shop work on their Wednesday evening volunteer nights. Then Covid...

I finally reconnected with them today, volunteering as a stern paddler for their Focus Beyond launch. Recent apprentices from Focus Beyond (who built the boats) paddled from the bow, or from the middle. For many, it was their first time in a canoe. #canoe #canoes #nonprofit #ngo #MNastodon #Minnesota
