Today was busy, despite not being a travelling day. We had brigade training all morning, practicing steering, switching, figure-eights etc. We also practiced our arrival ceremony. In the afternoon, we all paraded through Invermere with accompanying bagpipes. It was an honour to stand with David and Charlotte along with our comrades in paddling!
When we arrived back in camp it became apparent that one of the boats had been stolen. We could see the bandits approximately 2km from shore and we immediately set out to apprehend the scoundrels! We loaded 2 boats with 8 paddlers (2 above the normal load). We quickly reeled in the rouge boat. As we approached, the occupants remarked that we looked like "pirates" and "professionals". We boarded and escorted the miscreants back to shore, where the authories dealt with them.
What a day! (And the trip hasn't even started yet!)
