Whole day river trip

what I did well?
      I think that I did a pretty good job avoiding rocks, sweepers and strainers. Matthew and I didn’t flip our canoe, we got stuck 2-4 times but we jiggled our way though it.

What I need to improve?
     I need to work on paddling with a better pace.

What I really enjoyed?
     I enjoyed going through the rapids. I also enjoyed seeing the bus and taking breaks.

What I found difficult? Why?
     I found padding for a long time difficult, because it made by arm and shoulder tired.

Would I recommend canoe trip in the futur? Why/why not?
     I would recommend this for the futur because it was a fun experience and I think everyone should try this once in their life.

I find working with groups easier and the opinions of other people are usually very valueable. 5.  I learned a lot and gained a lot of skills which may help me in t...

What is interpretation?

By definition interpretation is  the action of explaining the meaning of something.
