The Nova Scotians are short of money and equipment and they are running dead last in the race from Rocky Mountain House, to Expo 67, but their captain. John Both-well of Baie Verte, says they are having as much fun as any of the other crews.

"We're having Ifltt of fun," Bothwell said in telephone interview from Squaw Rapid, where, the 19 pageant teams stopped over Sunday night. "We're running last and we haven't a real chance of catching the leaders, so there's no pressure on us. "I think we get to meet the people more out here. We have to scrounge a bit for equipment, but that, just makes il interesting. We're enjoying being the underdogs." Bothwell's crew is the only one in the pageant which is not formally sponsored by its home province.

The other crews 'are the leading Manitobans, second-place, British Columbia, and teams Alberta. Saskatchewan, Ontario. New Brunswick, the Northwest Territories and the Yukon.

The crew then began searching for another sponsor so that they could enter the event. "We wanted to go so badly we didn't oven cane if the sponsor would put up any money, just so long as we had a name to put on the entry form. That is the basis on which the Halifax Board of Trade agreed to sponsor us they aren't putting up any money." Bothwell said the shortage of, funds his own regular job prevented him from fining up any substantial financial suppori elsewhere in Nova Scotia prevented the Nova Scotia crw from buying new equipment and hampered their training program. "We're using some nf our personal money lo buy better equipment now, and we're picking up discards from other crews in the pageant things like rain ponchos but even so we're still using last year's paddles, "We started out as the only-team without even air mattresses to put under our sleeping bags, but we've scrounged a few now. "We're getting better, and by tt time we reach Ontario we should be able to win a few sprint races and pick up some money that way." The crew does have two good tents, and there is always' lots to eat.
