The planning document for the (soon to be) first vessel to traverse Strawberry Creek.
Strawberry Creek is a stream that runs through UC Berkeley:

In many ways it's the center of the campus and it's got a pretty interesting history.
When there's a protest and Sather Gate is blocked, students have to go through Strawberry Creek to get to class:
Originally, I was going to define this as going from the start to the end of the main fork. However, I don't want to distrub the natural areas so instead I'm going to define the "start" as the bridge just south of Moses Hall and the end as the bridge near Haas Pavilion
- It must float.
- It must be possible for an adult human to sit in it.
- It must move in water.
...well, Strawberry Creek is very very shallow and very rocky. At some points, there's basically no water in it. So we essentially will need to make a mini DUKW. Yes, that's a bit of a cop out but it's the only way.
