Canoe trip on days 3 and 4


After waking up early on day three, we dragged ourselves out of bed and packed up our gear. We ate outmeal and then hiked around the island that we camped on and found an old cemetary that was for the first settlers in the area. We turned our canoes into catamarans using 2 by 4s. We left Fakahatchee around 9:00 ande then we navagated ourselves through the channels of the everglades to whitehorse island. There we camnped and had an hour to ourselfes before we had a journal prompt and then dinner. After dinner we made a fire on the beach and told jokes and riddles till we couldn't keep our eyes open anymore. The next day we set out for Cape Ramano. Because of the weather Chris, our guide, directed us there instead of us navigating ourselves. Through one channel we spent 20 minutes fighting the wind and current to make it across. When we arrived we went on a hike to some collapsed buildings and then headed back to collapse after dinner.
