A) What did I do well? — I did well at paddling my canoe with my partner and being positive more towards the middle/end of the trip. At times we were very good at communicating what was going on, where we needed to go and what to avoid. I also thought that I did very well at staying behind the canoe and pushing it towards a sand bar when the canoe tipped over. My partner and I really worked together and pulled through when we had to empty out our canoe that was full of water.
B) What do I need to improve? — I need to improve my skills on working with a partner, when we were paddling and steering and trying to communicate when we weren’t doing what we wanted to. At times I started to get upset with my partner and we had some discussion and misunderstandings on what was going on.
C) What did I really enjoy? — I really enjoyed the view and being able to have the experience of canoeing and just being out on the water. I found it to be relaxing during parts of the trip and how much fun we had during it all. I really enjoyed it when another group in front of us said that there was a problem ahead, and it was a bunch of cows crossing the river right in front of us.
D) What did I find difficult? Why? — What I found difficult was trying to stay positive towards the end of the trip when we thought that the bridge was coming up but it really wasn’t. My partner and I started to pretend that the bridge was right around the corner but it really wasn’t. Also, when we got into more of an open area the wind really picked up which made it really hard to paddle and keep going in a straight line.
E) Would I recommend canoe excursions in the future? Why? Why not? — Yes, I would definitely recommend a canoe trip for others in the future because it is a great experience for kids to get outdoors and try new things. The one thing that I would recommend for people to do and prepare for before getting out on the water is it is hard to paddle at some times, and you will get tired.
