‘UNDERTAKER’ Racers (from left) André Pellerin, Mike Hebert, Dillon Angelle, Steven Wright and Randy Usie plow through a sea of water lilies like an icebreaker in the Arctic. Their unlimited class boat, a “stretched” tandem Sawyer canoe, weighed about 250 pounds and provided plenty of momentum to overcome the hyacinth. It was swamped by a tugboat wake in the Atchafalaya River but the crew bailed it out and finished the race.
The 135-mile race along the entire length of Bayou Teche was also divided into sections which paddlers could elect to participate in rather than the whole race.
