DAY 7 (page 3 of 5): Friday, August 16, 2002

3:01 pm - Shane rides the waves of the pontoon boat

After a cool, comfortable night's sleep (finally!) , we woke up late and took our time packing up. Today is the easiest day of paddling, a leisurely 18 km. Some of the road crew took advantage of this and hopped on the canopied pontoon boat (traded yesterday for the aluminum one) and enjoyed a cruise with the kayakers.

As the flotilla arrived at Hurst Marina, the sky darkened and thunder rumbled. Luckily it passed by us and didn't soak our BBQ, sponsored once again by Beveridges IGA. This time they cooked up half chickens, fresh salads and rolls -- it was awesome. We're surprised the kayakers could fit back in their boats afterwards!
