May 2015 | lewis & clark day 3 / 5

Posted on 6/06/2015

Day three we started out early into some rain. We were under strict instructions to stay together, which is a lot harder then you might think - but every time we got in front of the lead boat we would have a siren megaphoned at us, so we managed.... it's just really hard to stop the tide, that's all I'm saying. We paddled by some old ports with abandoned boats (which I would love to go back to), and then had lunch in Longview - where there was hot coffee and hot chocolate  ♡ ♡ ♡
In the afternoon the sun came out again, and so the flipping started again. There had been some kayak swapping, and Josh ended up with the English teacher, and I was with his Mom. We all went around trying to flip everyone (it's all fun and games till your sit in kayak gets swamped with water). At night we camped on the beach. All the adults needed to help with one meal (the rest of the times we got served by the kids - it's good to be an adult sometimes, I suppose) and that was the night we decided to help out : quesadillas. The kids did such a great job with all the food; it was awesome, and so nice to not have to worry about it. Our principals left that night too, since we had school the next day, so the real fun could begin....totally kidding :) nothing changed when they left.... except that the megaphone left too, which was kind of nice - not gonna lie.
