Big Canoe Full of Brave People on the Gowanus: The Brookvid

No way we could only settle for still pics of the big Gowanus Water Rising Flotilla canoe, so here's our Brookvid of the festivities. Click on the embed or on this link to watch. You can also catch the still photos in the post below. (As we noted below, the Water Rising theme turned out to have immediate irony as the Gowanus water rose quite impressively on Sunday. Photos in today's top post.)
