Artist Boat

This years artist boat was amazing! We started the day by loading up on the bus and driving over to an entry way on the bay coast. The instructors did not allow us to start kayaking until they had taught us all the safety tips and procedures such as, how to hold a paddle, what to do if you or another classmate flips, what motions to do with your paddle when trying to turn a certain direction and how to work together when paddling if you are in a double kayak. When we all got into the water we were led to a small piece of land where we tested water samples and learned about the area. After that we kayaked over to the marshes and ate lunch and learned about the different animals in the area. After lunch we head back to the same place we stopped at first and painted water color pictures of a landscape we could see from where we were standing, the ladies there were very nice and a great help when you had a problem. After we finished our paintings we kayaked back to where we started and we all put our supplies and life jackets up. It was a great experience and well worth the trip there, I'm so glad I got to go!
