>>788271Second time I flipped:
>I have no co-councilor this time, just me and a lifeguard that i live with down at the beach house.>the biggest air head>like every trip day the weather is shit, pouring rain and we leave camp to reach the first site, they tell me if i hear thunder, beach it and wait it out>not happening, its should only be an hour, but with 15 people and all the gear in one boat, we are a little heavy> the wind is at our backs and i take us right for the island beside the site, open water the whole time. but i need to get some speed and outrun the storm> we didn't know it then, but there was thunder and lighting right behind us inland>I see this convergence of waves up ahead all smacking into each other so there is no way to cut in perpendicular, I yell to the kids brace yourself, and we make it through taking surprisingly little water. > its so foggy at this point we make it past the island but there is no campsite to be seen.....> eventually the storm passes and one kid hops out to pee in the lake, the lifeguard looks it up on her phone and we overshot it and are on the other side of the peninsula then we should be. > get in and everyone is safe> next day kids want life guard to stern, even though i just George Clooneyed that shit and made it through a fucking storm>she makes it 15 minutes and sinks us on baby waves> flipp it to save the gear and have to get a yatch and speed boat to save us>i take 3 boys with me and the speed boat the bring the canoe to shore >one 750lbs canoe, 400lbs of gear, three preteens, one me. >We flipped it and got the gear out, the boys got into a sleeping bag and tarp because they were hypothermic, I stood in cold water for 3 hours waiting for my co-ordinator to get there and lift the boat. >my muscles hurt for a week and we never let the lifeguard in a canoe again. at least I got to spoon her in the tent for warmth.
