A Mysterious Documentary of sorts..

Kyle Leaverton, a boardman from Mystery andĀ film student at Wilmington University, is making a documentary about the Chesapeake Bay Log Canoes as a whole and need yours help!

Kyle is looking to interview anyone involved in Log Canoeing, especially those who have owned and sailed for many years. He is also looking for any pictures and stories, which I’m sure there are quite a lot out there! And if anyone has any footage/video of a Log Canoe under sail or a race that would be awesome as well.
