River canoeing







On Monday we went canoeing on the river and learned many things. One of the first things we learned was another way to put our canoe into the water instead of putting it straight in we put it in sideways. Another thing we learned how to do was ferry across the river this is helpful when you need to get from one side of the river to another easily. During class time we had talked about strainers and sweepers in rivers when we were on the river we actually got to see a sweeper witch we had to avoid. At one point in the trip me and my partner got stuck on a rock in a set of rapids, after some time we got our canoe free and continued on the trip, from there on we were extra careful making sure we did not hit anything else, this experience taught us how to identify objects in the water. Overall I learned a lot of skill that will be useful later on.

Canoeing day 1

May 10 My canoeing experience Today was the first day of canoeing. The first thing we had to do was unload the canoes off the trailer, I thought this would be a lot harder than it actually was. Once we got onto the canoes we had to do a full circle witch I thought was pretty easy. When moving the canoe forward the person in the back had to do a j-stroke witch is a stroke witch keeps the canoe moving in a straight line. This stroke turned out to be a lot harder than I thought it was going to be. Overall I thought that this canoeing trip was fun. Mr Coulson said that we needed to bring a extra set of clothing in 2 garbage bags, a towel, something to hold your glasses on, and something to scoop water out of your canoe. 1101 is you have 1 minute of hyperventilation you have 10 minutes of moving around in the water then you have 1 hour before going unconscious this happens when you fall in the water.
