When we got to the riverbank, we sat down to watch the races. The water was sparkling and the crowd on the other side of the river was shading under tent tops. Some crews were getting into the waka to go up-river for their races.
Harrigan’s crew was racing next. On your marks get set go. Everyone started to get excited, yelling, “Go, Harrigan.” Harrigan and his crew paddled really hard. We started to jump up and down, yelling even louder, “GO Harrigan!” They sped up and his crew won. I was excited. We won. so was Craig and Jack.
