Sharing the seat

A big part of this trip is beyond canoeing. It's all about strangers living and working together. True, we get to know each other, but it's not always easy to get along all the time.

Each of us has our own ways of doing things, from paddling in the canoe, to packing our gear, to just sharing the work. Some of us do better at getting along, chipping in with the chores. Others are more carefree and less concerned about the good of the whole group.

So it's a challenge to accommodate everyone. It's a challenge to get along.

We're learning how to do this, and even teaching others things, like how to paddle more efficiently, and hopefully how to get along better.

Again, there's a long line for the computers. About 100 people are on this trip, and many don't have their own laptop or Blackberry.
