History:

Kanu est née au Taïwan. Nous ne savons pas dans quelles circonstances elle s’est retrouvée aux É-U. Nous sommes allés la chercher en Virginie au mois de juin 2014. Après 13 jours en mer, nous sommes finalement arrivés à Cap-Pelé. Un voyage sur l’océan dont je me rappellerai toute ma vie. Quel enchantement et sentiment d’immensité devant cette mer qui semblait infinie!!… Pendant les années qui ont suivies, Kanu a navigué dans le détroit de Northumberland, entre Cap-Pelé, Shédiac, Cocagne, Bouctouche, Abram Village (IPE), et aussi dans le Golfe St-Laurent jusqu’à Shippagan, Caraquet et les Îles de la Madeleine. Que de beaux souvenirs pour nous, nos familles et nos amis.ies!
Ce qui m’a le plus impressionnée quand on a rencontré le couple d’anciens propriétaires, c’est qu’ils avaient vécus à son bord pendant les 17 années précédentes. C’était encore leur maison. La dame était couturière et fabriquait des housses de coussins et des pergolas de toutes sortes pour des voiliers. Son homme travaillait le bois et fabriquait des boiseries sur des bateaux. Il a donc été facile pour eux de gagner leur vie en se promenant de quai en quai à bord de Kanu.
Kanu was born in Taiwan. We do not know under what circumstances she ended up in the US. We picked her up in Virginia. After 13 days at sea, we finally arrived in Cap-Pelé. An ocean trip that I will remember all my life. What an enchantment and a feeling of immensity in front of this sea which seemed endless !! … During the years that followed, Kanu sailed in the Northumberland Strait, between Cap-Pelé, Shediac, Cocagne, Bouctouche, Abram Village (IPE), and also in the Gulf of St. Lawrence to Shippagan, Caraquet, and the Magdalen Islands. What beautiful memories for us, our families and our friends!
What impressed me the most when we met a previous couple of owners was that they had lived on board for the last 17 years. It was still their home. The lady was a seamstress and made cushion covers and pergolas of all kinds for sailboats. Her man was a woodworker and therefore did woodwork on boats as well. It was therefore easy for them to make a living by sailing from dock to dock aboard Kanu.

Comments:

Un fait qui a vraiment contribué à nous convaincre d’acheter ce bateau, c’est cette histoire extraordinaire de Kanu, indemne, amarrée à un poteau de quai en Louisiane, après le passage de Katrina. Autour d’elle, il n’y avait que débris de bateaux et de l’ex-quai qui flottaient partout. Je me suis dit que je serais en sécurité à son bord pendant les années à venir. Depuis 2 ans, elle est en sécurité dans un entrepôt à Shédiac, N-B, en attente de repartir vivre d’autres aventures avec de nouveaux propriétaires à son bord.
One fact that really helped with the purchase of this boat was this extraordinary story of Kanu, unharmed, moored to a post on a now non-existent wharf in Louisiana after hurricane Katrina passed by. All around her was the wreckage of boats and the former dock floating everywhere. I figured I would most likely be safe aboard her for years to come. For the past two years, she has been safe in a warehouse in Shediac N-B, waiting to go on more adventures with new owners on board.
