Day 15

We are exhausted. Today the sun was bright and hot as we put 41 k behind us. We are all feeling a bit sick as the fish was not as fresh as we’d thought. The nausea I was feeling in the cabin last night, along with the noise of creaking floorboards and bugs caused me to lose a fair amount of sleep. We were like zombies today, but we toughed it out. The river rejoined its other half after Pym island, where we stayed. And it has reformed its old conveyor belt personality. We had a blast in the tent tonight, laughing our asses off about our kinds and their antics, and about the events of the day – such as Jake tying ropes to a tent and flying it like a kite in the stiff winds. We are hapy to get to bed early and sleep our exhaustion off. In the next couple of days we should paddle off the Canadian Shield onto bedrock of limestone.
