- Relay Race - |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
The winners enjoy the sweet taste of victory - Kevin MacAdam, Michelle Barr, Michael Palmer, and Josh Collins. It was not without it's sacrifices - I think I coughed up one of my lungs back on the Confederation Trail during the bike leg. |

Dan McCarthy and Garry MacAdam did a wonderful job organizing this activity. |

The canoers wait at the beginning of the canoe leg on the Morell River... |

Humphrey and Herb give it their all. I'm sure we all heard Humphrey talk about his 'conspiracy' stories. And I'm sure we all thought it was just a load of jibberish - a story that was fabricated in order to justify his disappointing performance in comparison to his glory days at the 2000 Reunion Relay Race.
However, there may have been some truth to it - there may have been some eyewitnesses who saw their canoe going backwards and being drawn out towards St. Peter's Bay, despite their strongest paddling efforts. And, if we look just a little closer... just a liiiittle closer (see picture below).... could it be? It looks like a taut rope that is tied to the back of their canoe.
This issue may have to be reviewed by the MacAdam Reunion Appeals Board. |

... and what happened to the powerhouse team of Bill O'Hanley and John Paul MacAdam? So much hope was riding on their shoulders. But, as you can see, it looks like the enormous and mighty swells, waves, and whitecaps of the Morell River were too much for these seaworthy sailors. |

Andrew MacAdam arrives at the end of the biking leg. You don't look tired enough Andrew... |

Jon Cheverie receives the 'Broken Wheel' award. And the reason? Check below... |
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
Jon is either at the beginning stages of a heart attack, or he has been hit in the gut with a large mallet, or he has just gotten sick after a gruelling bike ride in the Relay Race. |

Brian MacAdam receives the 'Stinky Sneaker' Award. It appears Brian had followed in Jon's footsteps in order to receive this prestigious award. |

It looks like Fred is going to enjoy shopping for Susan in the future - he won a shopping bag door prize. |

Courage under fire: Herb and Humphrey stand tall amidst the conspiracies - they receive the 'Heavy Anchor' Award while Bill O'Hanley and John Paul MacAdam receive the 'Broken Paddle' Award.
Bill and John will now have three years to think about 'what could have been'... |

Ryan Hennessey, Andrew MacAdam, Colleen Monier, and Dan McCarthy - a strong third place finish. |

The 'Turtle Award' - last place goes to John Paul MacAdam, Susan MacKay, Bill O'Hanley, and Alex MacAdam. Wear those shells with pride.... |

At the precise moment this picture was taken, people in St. Peter's could probably hear Jean and Mary laughing. Humphrey wins a door prize and struts his stuff in front of the ladies. |

The team of Greg Collins, Chris McCarthy, Bill Schlitt, and Lynn Bradley share a moment together. |

Lots of MacAdams (and those guilty by association) are watching the award presentations.... |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
More MacAdams (Jim MacAdam, Bill O'Hanley, Michelle Barr, Brian MacAdam, Susan MacKay, Michael MacAdam)... |
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
... and still more MacAdams! |
|
|
|

Colleen, Andrew, Lynne, and Greg share a laugh. |

Matt Morris, Mark MacAdam, and Mike Puiia (missing: Josh Coffin) came in second place |
