Day 10 (the last) on the canoe...smiles fewer and farther between
|
Mike is doing well for a person who let the sun burn off the majority of skin on his lips and chin...
and Jackie is doing well for a person who has sat next to Mike for the entire trip. |
Nathan, on the other hand, begins to melt
|
Lesley fights boredom
|
|
|
while Mark fights scurvy...
|
|
...Jon fights madness...
|
...and Clarence and Anne wonder whether all ichthyologists are this soft
|
Then, in an oonga-lagoonga moment of total consciousness,
our leader professes to the canoe the true meaning of life: |
to fish for him,
of course! |
And the sun beat on...
|
|
|
Falling water levels of the Kuyuwini expose more snags to be hacked...
|
...or ducked
|
An small crab is sacrificed for a moment of entertainment...
|
|
...and contemplation of vertebrate vs. invertebrate innovation
|
The crew is heartened when it crosses paths with a canoe of missionaries en route to Gunn's Strip
Civilization is close... |
...but the excitement is fleeting
