I started on my journey to the ocean.
I already had a goal, to at least get to Hudson Bay.
It was pretty peaceful at the beginning, but then there were several waves!
I went up, I went down, it was like a roller coaster
Finally it stopped and it was peaceful once again.
I was enjoying the ride and then I heard a weird sound.
I looked side to side and then I saw a moose.
Scraping off its velvet.
Then the moose babies came out and chased me.
While they followed me the current in the stream sped up and I sailed away.
I go with the stream and I almost fall asleep with the rocking of the river
I feel a tap on the side of my boat and I see one of my friends!
It is Hudson and damian. also they are asleep so i try and wake them up
When they finally do, Damian yells, ՉWATERFALL! LET'S GO!Չ
ՉARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MInd?Չ Hudson responds. ՉWeՉre dead!Չ I say.
Right when all seemed lost a little girl picked us up
Her dad came and looked at all of us
He said that they needed to take a picture of us and throw us back in the river
When they took us inside the girl dropped Damian and he yelled, ՉAHHHH!Չ while falling
The dad picked him up and they took pictures of us with a paper of our call numbers
When they were done they set Damian, Hudson and I in the Sand Hill river at Beltrami!
We sailed down the river for a while and told jokes, then the unthinkable happened
HUDSON GOT SUCKED DOWN ANOTHER RIVER! There was nothing we could do to help him
He was sailing in another direction, hopefully to the ocean where we were going
Damian and I were sad that Hudson was washed away and we stayed quiet for a while
We were sailing for a while and then I hit a rock and everything went black
I didnՉt know what happened. when I woke up I had a chip and some of my color was gone
And I was in the Red River which was good because it leads to Hudson Bay
I looked around and I was in a big city which I can only assume is Winnipeg
I sail for a long time and the waves keep hitting me really hard like someone boxing me
I look around and see some birds flying by me as I sail by
Then I have a little visit from an otter in the water, then it put a clam on me
And then dove to get a rock and pick the clam back up and smash it
The animals stopped following me taking breaks as I kept going
I noticed it was getting icy and I looked around again and I was in lake Winnipeg!
I was so excited that I didnՉt notice that there were several bluegills swimming under me
They all swam away at the sight of a largemouth bass that swam up to me
It started bumping me around like a beachball left and right
He pushed me to the shore and a group of adults found me
They also put my call number and sent a photo to the internet
Instead of them putting me back in the water they saw a message on me
One of them read it out loud to the other adults that had found me. It said,
ՉI am paddle to the sea, if you find me please take a photo and put me back on my journey to Hudson BayՉ they were so nice they drove to a river near Hudson Bay and put me there
I sailed and it was very cold and I kept hitting ice chunks that were in the ice
While I sailed I saw a pack of white wolves that started running after a Rabbit
Then a walrus popped its head out of the water and swam circles around me
While a cute white seal joined in and then grabbed me in its mouth and swam away
It kept swimming and it let go and when it did he kindly pushed me into Hudson Bay
I had finally made it, and I happily sailed into the sea having completing my journey
