We have been invited by the North Bay Whaleboat Rowing
Association to join their "Sprint the Pier" event. This
event is put on by the North Bay Vikings, associated with the Bay
Area Whaleboat Racing Association. We'll be the only living
history group. We'll probably have the opportunity to
row one of their whaleboats around the pier. It's not a longship,
but it'll have to do....
They will have stone and caber tossing games. We should have (at
least) our Viking Tug-of-War as an example of Viking age games. They will provide lunch.
Probable Schedule:
8:00 Show up, set up
9:00 Living history display
They do their boat sprints
11:00 The Viking Art of War
12:00 Lunch 4:00 End of the event
We'll do a boat sprint if a boat and supplemental crew are available
Well
set up at the park north of the Northern Boat launching ramp. Use
César Chávez Park at the end of Spinnaker Way to
unload. Take the paved walking path heading North and East
around the hill until you see the picnic benches. Our spot
is diagonally across the path from the picnic tables. No tickets
are necessary for Bjornstad members.
