Buskin Float

 

Over the weekend the kids and I joined Uncle Dicky and cousin Zeke for a float trip down Buskin River to the sea.  The river was surprisingly high and even a little scary in places where trees had fallen into the river and created 'sweepers'.  Nora had her own small raft while Stuey and I shared a double.  Uncle Dicky and Zeke used paddle boards.

We did some exploring as we went and stopped frequently to get out and explore beyond the banks of the river.  And then when we reached the sea we went out and tried to surf on the waves.  Stuey and I did manage to catch a wave and for a while there it looked like the wave was going to catch and roll us over. It was certainly a thrill, but we managed to keep the raft upright.
