Royal Ransom
“Ray made darn sure that Andrew took his share of the load, and Albert and Nigel demonstrated that they didn’t just look strong. I couldn’t believe how much they could carry.
We put the canoes back in the water and paddled less than a kilometre before we put in to make camp for the night. It was a beautiful spot, slightly up on a hill where a breeze kept the bugs away, with a supply of wood close by, a little stream flowing in and a very gentle beach, where we could wash up and even take a swim.... Finally, when the camp was set up and supper was ready, we sat down to eat.
“How many kilometres did we do today?” Victoria asked.
“Close to thirty,” Ray said. “We could have done more if I wasn’t carrying so much dead weight,” he added looking pointedly at Andrew.
“I tried hard today … much harder than yesterday,” Andrew protested.
“Unless you were dead you’d have to work harder than yesterday,” Ray said.
Andrew looked hurt.
“But you are learning,” Ray conceded.MoreLess
