On the final day of our trip, we woke up bright and early at 7 am to start packing and getting ready to leave. We ran into a few obstacles along the way, like the incredible amount of caterpillars that had managed to climb all over our tents, but once we got rid of them we were able to pack up very quickly. Breakfast that day was eggs and toast, and everyone agreed that it was very good for a camping breakfast although many were disappointed by the lack of seconds on eggs. We didn\u2019t have time to waste, so we finished breakfast as fast as possible to begin loading up the kayaks. We worked together to fit all of the food, tents, and personal gear into the kayaks, and astonishingly, the raccoons didn\u2019t come and help us eat all of the food. We launched soon after that. The currents were not in our favor, but from what we had learned about currents and eddy hopping we were able to paddle back to our starting point relatively easily, riding the countercurrent most of the way. On our way back to the very first launching point, we noticed some seals on a rock nearby. We watched them for a while, but when one went into the water we figured it was time to go. Pretty soon after that we reached Jackson\u2019s Beach. All of us were very excited to be back on San Juan Island and to eat lunch. We had mango lemonade and sandwiches and sat on the beach until we were picked up and returned to the dorms. Derek was also back when we returned, and we spent some time discussing our plans and ideas for our projects. Dinner that night was lasagna with garlic bread and a salad, and once again, everyone thought it was delicious. We wrapped up our day with ice cream and free time, and started planning for the next day\u2019s activities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
