After your canoe returns to the 9th Street Boat Ramp,
- Your Steersperson will invite you to express your Mahalo for a safe return after practice
- The Steersperson will tell each paddler when to exit the canoe
- At least one paddler should stay with the canoe
- 1 or 2 paddlers from the first canoe to reach the boat ramp should unlock the bumper and cart
- Assist your crew in bringing your canoe up (you may be asked to help other crews bring up their canoes)
- Roll the canoe on the bumper
- While maintaining social distance, lift the canoe from the end towards the boat ramp
- While the end is lifted, someone places the cart under the canoe (about mid-ama; depending on the canoe, between the “R” and “C”)
- Two people lift the ama
- Push the canoe forward
- Put the PFDs, huli rope, safety bucket, and running lights (if used) back in the shed
- If you borrowed a club paddle, please rinse it and place it back in the shed
- In conformity with our COVID-19 Protocol, only remove your own paddle from the canoe
- Gather in a large circle while maintaining social distance
- Any final notes, reminders, or announcements are given
- Our Club Oli is chanted
- On some days, this may be followed by work party on the club site
