Last Friday we (my Boy Scout Troop and I) went to Morgans Canoe and Livery. My Troop had rented a total of five canoes and eleven kayaks. For a fifteen mile trip down the Little Miami River, it took us about nine hours to reach our campground.
During that time this what happened, Chrisna (my good friend) in his kayak was acting as if it was impossible, while having trouble with every little thing you could think of from paddling to turning to capsizing which he did in two foot water. When he did when when no one was looking, we were shoving off the bank. Then for a quarter mile he slowly chased it over rapids and four feet deep places in the river.
After he got the hang of kayaking people started to tip or should I say capsize. Soon after wards Patrick was the second one to tip over very dramatically I might say with a scream from him (horribly loud I might add). It took him forever to dump out the water and get back in.
After a few hours, we hit some rapids which wanted to turn you around really fast. The rapids tipped a canoe, then a few hours later the havoc began. Three more canoes tipped because they tried to finish a merit badge requirement. Afterwards we had a couple of kayaks tip over and we finished the trip. We slept that night through a storm and a lot of fireworks from across the river. The next morning we woke up, packed up, had breakfast and left for home.
