What is more fun than a weekend of canoeing 35 km in rain, cold, sun, wind, hail, sleet, 2 feet of
snow and all of it uphill? um...well pretty much everything. Thats why im glad we only did it in rain and cold.

While in Pinawa we were informed that we were going a canoe trip. Everyone was excited! Who wouldnt want
to canoe under blue skies in warm weather? Well as it turned out, with our luck, it was freezing cold and rainy.
Yes, we did have a few moments of sun but that was only while we were at Deuce Island, so the two kind of
cancel each other out! All in all, we had a great time! Take a look below
to see what 36 km of canoeing can do to a person (Jordan!)
View of the starting point (Notice the cold dark clouds!)
Krista, Andrea,Shanna, Jodie, and Priscille (with Jen's head in the back ground) repacking for
the trip out. Notice the sweaters and coats!!
The hard core construction worker twins, Mike and Nick
Shanna and Jen getting ready to head off into the abyss.
Melissa, Cam (me), and Nadine. I must say, that i enjoyed not paddling for a portion of the trip.
Zac overlooking the packing of the HMS Greenway with Captain Josh.
and crewman Jordan Plett.
As it turned out, there was a mutany, and Josh got ousted from the job of Captain, and made into
the bailsman! sorry bud!
Andrea, Drew(our leader from Wild-Wise), Zac, Cam, and nadine, all
standing around the masterpiece.....a large pot of Alpine spagetti.. It tasted
pretty good too!
Shanna, Krista, Priscille, GEORGIO, and Nick all eating the feast of Alpine Spagetti..
The pyros of the group hanging around the fire.
This is the point of the cloudy day when the HMS Greenway (with its ousted captain back
in his post....the frigrate on the right) meets up with its fellow freshwater frigrates.
Part of the group playing a game taught by Kelly (in the yellow lifejacket.....From
WildWise). Jodie, i think you are a little slow on this one.....1,2,3, OY!!!!
Most of the group posing for a picture under a clear dark grey sky.
Nads (nadine) and Jodie, obvioiusly tired and taking a break. BUILD SOME
MUSCLES LADIES! LETS GO!
Jen and Josh gathering around Andrea, who is holding a gardner snake. Whats with these people
liking snakes? urg!!!
Jordan holding the paddle he broke. Obviously his HUGE muscles
busted it when he was trying to canoe.
Nads and Kelly standing around the Thunderbox (i call it a Treasure Chest). But in reality'
it is a makeshift toilet in the woods. To me it looks like Nads REALLY has to go!
Josh and Cam masterfully putting up a tent, with George watching and commenting. It was a warm
night with 4 guys in thie little dinky tent!
Josh and Cam having a deep talk. And yes, those are clouds in the sky....STILL
the WHOLE group after our adventures on the open waters. Still cold and all the better for it.
I think Krista got a Sliver! (In the background is one of the Guatamala sites .)
