Canoeing the Saint John River


Yesterday, Dad, Mom, Anna, Steve, Rachelle and I took a couple of canoes and a kayak and went down about an 8km section of the Saint John River. It was fun, but became difficult near the end of our trip due to the tidal influences on the river - even though we were going down-river, we were battling a current going the opposite way.



There are a lot of 'cow islands' in the part of the river we paddled. At one point we even saw a cow ferry. There are lots of little inlets to explore and even the occasional sandy beach, like the one where we stopped for lunch.



It was a great day and the weather couldn't have been better.
