Stroke!! Stroke!!!!! STROKE!!!!!!!!!!

Thursday, we had the luck to canoe in two aboriginal canoes. The smaller canoe held six people and the larger one held 10 people. Our guide was from the Nuu-chah-nulth First Nation. The 16 scouts that went in the canoes paddled out to Meares island. The other 11 received a motor boat ride to the island. When we arrived at the island we unloaded the canoes and started on a hike through the forest on Meares island. We saw some huge trees and some banana slugs. We stopped near the shore to eat lunch and then we headed back. For the way back, we switched the paddlers and the riders. The wind started to pick up and the arrival at shore was delayed. The riders arrived there first. Both of the canoes had to towed back to shore because of the waves. Once everybody was at the shore, half of the group went fishing and the other half headed back to the campsite to relax.
