The day started with us unloading the canoes. I was partnered with Gavin. We had a little argument about who would get stern, I gave up after 2 minuets and let Gavin be stern. We lifted the canoe and placed in the water sideways, this was becaucuse the river was flowing in the direction we placed the canoe. It was a little tough getting the canoe to move, mostly because of Gavin but when it started moving it was moving good.
After everyone was on a canoe and were floating safely, Mr. Colson thought us how to do a ferry. This was pretty easy, Gavin and I got this on our first try.
Then we moved on down the river, when we got to the first rapids, Mr.Colson stopped us and told us to go one at a time and to stay staring in the rapids.
The rapids were pretty fun, I don’t think anyone got stuck at these rapids.
We saw some sweepers and strainers through our whole trip.
Kalean and Tyler were the first ones to get stuck, they got stuck in a sweeper.
Then Jayden and Nathan got stuck on a strainer, they were stuck for a while. Mr. Colson and Mariam had to help them get out, this took like 10 minuets.
When we were about 3/5 of the way done we got to rapids in which we had to carry the canoe over. This was a little hard mostly because Gavin had his good shoes on and didn’t want to get them wet. After like 3 minuets of convincing he got out and helped me with the boat.
After we got in to the river we saw a turtle.
At the start of the trip Mr. Colson told us not to paddle hard especially the bow, this was not always the case with Gavin and I becuase Gavin doesn’t know how to turn right so I had to steer right from the bow.
When we reached Ted’s palace we got out and lifted our canoe to shore.
While we were waiting 2 canoes got stuck in the rocks.
Then while a canoe was some ing to shore it flipped.
This was a very fun experience I had a lot of fun and would defiantly do it again. In my personal opinion I found river canoeing raiser then lake canoeing becuase river canoeing was less tiring.
