River paddle

At the start of our day we drove down to the damn where me and Hashim were partnered up to go canoeing on the river. We unloaded our canoe and carried it down to the river. To get in the canoe on moving water we had to place the canoe sideways so it was going with the flow of the water. As we paddled down the river Mr.Coulson taught us many things like how to ferry across the river, we spent about 5 minutes watching and learning. After we go to our first rapids there we learned about how to scope out a rapid and how to find a fun and safe route through.  As we kept going through we saw our first strainer, we got taught how to find a strainer and go around it, for some unlucky strainer they got caught in one😂. We leanered how to properly get out of the canoe and raft up to go around a rapid that is unable to go through. We leanered how to pull so own out of a sltrainer and sweeper, since we watched two canoes get rescued. We also learned how to see where the big rocks are in the water, it makes a V going down stream. At the end we leanered how to save a paddled that was flowing down the river, Coleman leaped into th water and rescued the long lost paddle. Through the trip we only had one canoe tip, some of us jumped in to pull the canoe out.
