River Otters
... heard in the darkness of the night. But they are timid creatures. Afraid of us.
Day three was epic. We paddled on that day so as to make some good time. On this day I was with Master C. Between the two of us we put a lot of weight into the canoe. That combined with my lack of skill and frustration held us back from the rest of the group. Our goal was to hit the 50-50 rapid (A class 3 rapid) and set up camp.
