recovery sequence 1/6

a month & a half orso ago, the 3rd raft we'd built went missing.

we built a 4th.

last night, it, too, went missing.

it was an unpleasant experience.

i went home early, determined to get up this dawn & find the thing: we'd heard a report from a canoeist that he'd seen a whack of kids on the thing going upriver & there's a spot beyond which fast current i'd doubted they'd be able to get.

on waking up, i wasn't too thrilled at the prospect of fighting through the bush over on the north shore & put it off & put it off but finally hoisted myself out the door, paddle strapped to my bike & a toke & drink for celebration, just in case.

this is how i found raft 3!, having spotted something from the Prince Of Wales bridge that i thought should be investigated. what i'd seen was wrong but going there enabled me to see this around a corner i'd not been able to see from the bridge. not even tied off!

evidently, someone'd taken it past Île Yvette-Naubert & didn't know how to get back past that current.
