We are taking two canoe like boats that are called pirogues. They carry men and supplies. Our mothership the 55 foot keelboat witch could be towed, pulled from the shore, poled, our sailed. It carries most of our supplies, making it the most important asset of our trip. The keelboat is not as versatile as the other two pirogues. We have already had trouble with sandbars, logs, and even overhanging branches. It has been a pain getting this boat upriver. A good day we would make it ten miles up river, but on bad days we may only make a mile.
