PEI boater gives Swan Lake a speedy new meaning

Boat builder Clark Waite has rebuilt Birdie for his friends Ellen Clarke and Steve Smith. It was an abandoned amusement park boat at Rainbow Valley Park in Prince Edward Island. And not very fast. Now it’s fast. “We said, ‘Clark, we need a swan buddy.’ Not half an hour later he rolled up to the house with a swan on the back of his flatbed truck. It felt like Christmas morning.”
