Today was pretty cool, we finally got to take out the canoes
at Spring Lake. Breakfast was French toast and coffee for me then we headed out
to grab a few things before the main event. As we got there we discovered a new
technique to save a life, rope in a bag! Or a throw rope as it is commonly
called. This took all of a couple hours for most people to get somewhat under
their belts. Finally, around ten a.m. we got in and got our feet wet. We
practiced skills such as pry and draw, which should prove useful relatively
soon. We also got to try our hand at both driving stern and bow. Eventually
Jeff taught us how to rescue a capsized canoe through an experiential method,
as he ran full speed at Ryan and Cody, we soon saw a capsized canoe haha! We
Finished the loop at Spring Lake, gunnel walked to exchange placed and headed
back at full speed for shore. Home again, Horn again! Dinner was good but a
little quiet, as everyone seemed to have a lot on their mind. After debrief
everyone seemed to have a better understanding of each other. Two more days…
