8 AM
Canoeing River 2:04:44 [1] 18.36 km (6:48 / km) +6m 6:47 / km

17.1 °C; Partly cloudy
Slept well from 21:00 to 2:00, then read for a couple of hours slept from 4:00 to 7:00. A good cup of coffee, followed by an excellent breakfast fixed by Joel, taking down the tents and off we were.

The few rapids were easy to negotiate, sometimes Karl and Val led and sometimes we did. Instead of the estimated three to four hours, the 18 km to Hwy 70 took us just over two and since the sandbanks Karl had hoped to use as a pick nick spot, we headed to the Burnett Creamery in Alpha.
