Troop 27 recently went on a canoe trip to Bair Island that ended up being a bit too difficult for them. So the Crew decided to try it with the more experienced scouts at a later date. When we went out on the water it was a fairly calm day and the weather was beautiful. We started our nine mile journey on a timeline because we had to cross certain marks by a specific time, due to the tides and flow restrictors. Soon after crossing those marks we had some time to leisurely paddle along until we got to our next mark. By the afternoon the wind had gotten a bit stronger but it wasn’t anything we couldn’t handle. Overall, the Crew had tons of fun canoeing the corkscrew even if the wind wasn’t on our side the entire time.
