Just like life on trail, we didn’t get lucky two meetings in a row with the rain. We gave the guys a quick run down on setting up tents, but as we were putting them away the rain rolled in. It was a great example of what not-so-perfect conditions may look like.
Next, we did some portaging, continued to practice flipping up the canoes and adding distance to our portages. Today, we portaged over one kilometer! Following the portage, we loaded the canoes right into the water and did a lot of paddling. We covered different river features that we may encounter and cleaned up their paddling form to be more efficient.
Now, we just need to show them what to do if a boat dumps and also ways to avoid dumping. We will definitely be getting a little wet on Sunday!
