Having been repeatedly assured that the 10-day boat trip would be equipped with 3 canoes and 3 outboards...our crew was a bit surprised to find the canoe to outboard ratio 3:1 @ 8 horses.
This unexpected turn of events was met with a mixture of...
|
 |
 |
 |
|
...cautious optimism...
|
...complete confidence...
|
 |
 |
|
...and absolute obliviousness.
|
At least fueling the trip was no longer a concern
