U.S. invades Canada: Port Huron Float Down sends 1,500 drunk ‘Muricans up north - TomoNews

SARNIA, CANADA — Around 1,500 Americans participating in the annual Port Huron Float Down were caught in strong winds and were accidentally blown into Canada on Sunday.

The Float Down consists of party goers hopping onto rafts, inner tubes or other floatation devices and just floating down the river from Port Huron, Michigan.

The event was supposed to start at Port Huron’s Lighthouse Beach and end at Chrysler Beach in Marysville.

However, on Sunday, the strong winds and challenging weather conditions caused the Americans to cross over the border and invade international waters.

Some Americans actually tried to swim back to the U.S. because they were worried about entering Canada without proper identification or documentation, according to CBC News.

According to BBC, Canadian officials took six hours and transported 19 bus loads of people back to US Customs and Border Protection.

Sarnia City spokeswoman Katarina Ovens said workers spent several hours cleaning up beer cans, coolers and picnic tables that were washed up on shore.

St. Clair County Sheriff Deputy Steve Campau said as of Monday morning all the participants were accounted for, according to the BBC.
