Disasters

Everything Brita and I do together turns into a disaster of some sort, and seeing as she is my best friend, we have some kind of disaster almost every day. today was canoeing. we took the McMahon's canoe to go up the creek because our boat ride to aggasiz ditched us. we got halfway across the narrows and a big spider got on my leg so i freaked out and dropped the oar and we had to one-oar row chasing it down the narrow. so, we get halfway across again and a sea lion starts stalking us, i kid you not, he followed us everywhere popping up on all sides and snorting at us. very scary. "Eaten by a sea lion" is not what i want my obituary to say. so we rowed back to the coast guard dock til it went away. the third time worked ou and we went up the creek as far as we could go, which was not too far because we are stupid and went on a low tide. of course that meant we exited on an incoming tide and it took us TWO HOURS to get out of there because the tide was running against us so fast. So now my arms are really sore and i never want to see a canoe again. But overall it was a good way to spend a day in the sun, and now i am more tan, which is good because i was starting to look like a white girl...
