Chapter 2119 Lu Xun Said?
After the two parties met, they found that there were two older men following Andrew, one was a full-time motorboat driver, and the other was an employee of a canoe company.
After the greeting, the driver asked about yesterday's situation and learned that Yang Cheng and the others made a wise decision to dock after encountering big waves. They were also forced to dock yesterday because of the big waves.
For encountering such a big wave, no one can help, there is only one choice, and that is to wait! But based on his experience, this gust of wind should pass quickly.
The older Caucasian uncle kindly told Yang Cheng and the others that it would be a pity to go back by boat like this. After all, it is impossible to play rafting every week. There may only be one or two opportunities in life, so it is best not to give up halfway.
You can drink coffee, eat snacks on the shore, take a walk around to see the scenery, and say that it will be safe to reach the other end of the lake and enter the Yukon Estuary in three hours.
After Yang Cheng and the others discussed it, they also felt that it was a pity to give up at this point, so they decided to continue to wait, but Andrew and the others also stayed. They have the experience of living in the wild and have their protection. Danger.
In this way, before leaving, the white uncle recorded their location with GPS, and the staff of the canoe company also noted their request that they might delay returning the canoe.
So, everyone calmed down and held a party by the lake with the supplies Andrew and the others brought. The scenery on the lake was not that beautiful, but they felt more at ease. Andrew and the others brought food that could at least last ten days. and fuel!
After eating and drinking enough, chatting, at 1 pm, they were pleasantly surprised to find that the waves on the lake were smaller!
Everyone no longer hesitated, packed their bags and loaded the boat as quickly as possible, and sailed out of the bay surrounded by big waves.
Although the waves were still one after another, they were still much smaller than yesterday. After paddling for a while, I met two canoes just like them on the lake.
I said hello and chatted with each other. Coincidentally, everyone's destination is Carmax. The two canoes are all aunts. Seeing their healthy retirement life is much better than dancing square dances. Toss, but at least it doesn't disturb the people.
But the good times didn't last long. After continuing to row for about three hours, the big waves came back.
However, according to the boating experience of the past few days, coupled with the guidance of Andrew and others, let the boat drive in an "N" shape, and try to keep the bow of the boat at a 30° angle from the big waves.
Aim the bow of the boat at the center of the lake first,
After drawing 30 or 40 meters, look at the gap between the waves, immediately turn the bow of the boat and row towards the shore, and repeat this process.
In this way, the canoe will neither be sucked into the center of the lake by the undercurrent, nor be driven to the shore by the waves.
Although the boat was very dangerous when turning around, and it might be overturned by the waves if it was slower, but they had no better way. Despite the best efforts to control the boat, the little canoe was finally hit by several big waves and ran aground on the shore.
Here is another rocky beach, which is so bare that there is not even a tree that can tie a tent, so it is impossible to set up a camp.
Tow your canoe ashore so it doesn't get swept away by the big waves, and hike along the shore to find a campsite.
There is no unparalleled road. When turning a bay, a sandy beach appeared, a small stream accompanied by a quiet water, and the wind was blocked by rocks.
This is an excellent camping place. Everyone returned to the rocky beach, carried the necessary luggage to the camp, and collapsed on the beach exhausted.
After analyzing the map and the information obtained the day before, this place should not be too far from the mouth of the Yukon River. Eat a good meal to replenish your strength, and you can enter the mouth of the river tomorrow to avoid the wind and waves anyway.
This is the fourth morning since they started rafting, imagining that they can enter the river mouth in a few hours, everyone is full of confidence!
After paddling and paddling, we went around one bay after another. After an hour and a half, the river bay in front of us was still endless and had no end in sight.
At this time, everyone's physical strength was exhausted, and the palms of the pampered young models had blisters, and Yang Cheng's fingers were swollen like carrots, making it difficult to bend. At this time, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful. Is Los Angeles not ready for a wedding? You have to take this risk.
But this idea dissipated as the lake became extremely calm when they turned a bay.
Is it about to enter the mouth of the river? This is everyone's first reaction.
Because I saw a yacht parked on the shore from a distance, it wasn't a wide estuary, and the yacht couldn't drive in at all.
I rowed over immediately, and it turned out that a family was on vacation. After asking, I learned that this is the location of the mouth of the Yukon River, and said that it can be reached in 30 minutes.
I finally saw hope, and I can safely pass through LAKE LABERGE!
William cheered everyone up, and everyone was motivated, but Lu Xun said: Before reaching the destination, we must not let down our vigilance.
Lu Xun: "??? Did I say that?"
Before crossing this bay, the calm lake surface began to be choppy again. Several times they tried to cross the big waves but failed.
In desperation, they had no choice but to abandon the boat and explore the way along the rocky beach, hoping to see the mouth of the river.
The images of holding wooden sticks and bear jars make them look like those in Wilderness Survival, but if it was Master Pei, at least they shouldn't look so embarrassed.
After walking through three bays, the road was broken, and a big rocky mountain stood in front of them. There was no way to go, so they had to go back the same way, and returned to the place where they were stranded. They were about to reach their destination, and they were unwilling to wait like this!
So all the people decided to take a risk in the water and seize an opportunity. They successfully rowed the boat out of the big wave area and fought against the waves one by one.
Just crossing the rocky mountain that cannot be passed by foot, the big waves pushed them onto the rocky beach again.
But no matter what, after all, they are one step closer to the mouth of the river, and they can only comfort and encourage themselves in this way.
Going ashore and continuing to explore the road, walking along the rocky beach through the miscellaneous bushes for nearly an hour, the scene they were looking forward to appeared-the mouth of the Yukon River!
Hope is in sight, but because the lake water suddenly enters the Yukon River, which is only tens of meters wide, from a width of 5 kilometers, huge waves are formed in this area, and canoes cannot pass at all.
How to walk through this big wave area? They went back to the place where they disembarked, tentatively entered the water and dragged the boat along the shore. It was feasible, but the cold lake water soaked their bodies instantly. At this time, no one thought of giving up. It took about two hours. Finally, they can finally proudly announce that they have defeated LAKE LABERGE and entered the Yukon Estuary.
They went ashore, opened their bags, and took out whiskey. One was shivering from the cold river water and needed alcohol to stimulate heat. They hugged each other and enjoyed the joy and joy of overcoming difficulties and dangers with their perseverance, strength and wisdom. happiness.
While they were happy, they did not forget to make lunch by themselves. They were too tired and had to replenish their energy to move on.
After a meal, we made some adjustments and continued to drive toward the depths of the Yukon River.
They thought they would be at ease when they entered the river, but they miscalculated the situation again.
The Yukon River is wide and far-reaching, full of islands and U-shaped bends, and undercurrents surge underwater from time to time, making the bottom of the boat "bang bang" and sometimes jacking up the boat.
The topography of the river bottom is complicated. As long as there are obstacles such as reefs or dead trees, the river will turn into waves.
When running against the wind, even with all the strength of the whole body, the boat can only move forward inch by inch.
When passing through the islands, they must follow the route marked on the map, and they are not allowed to cross at will, because some exits are shallow rocky beaches or shallow sandy beaches, and the boat will run aground, and it is even more difficult to row back against the current.
When they passed an island, they should have been driving on the left side of the island, but because the current was too fast, no matter how desperately they tried to control the boat, they were washed to the other end of the island by the rushing water.
Fortunately, the exit is unobstructed, otherwise they can't imagine what kind of price they will have to pay to return to the original route.
They waved their oars with full concentration, and from time to time someone spoke up to encourage them, carefully bypassing undercurrents and rapids one after another, not daring to neglect or relax.
They had just crossed LAKE LABERGE, and they were exhausted, so they decided to go camping earlier.
According to the map, they saw a "good camp" in front of them, and they rowed excitedly. Unexpectedly, due to the rapid current, their canoe was rushed over before it touched the shore. They watched the camp getting bigger and bigger behind them. Far.
The camps developed by the Yukon River are roughly divided into two types, one is "good camp", the ground of this kind of camp is relatively flat, and basically there are dry firewood for bonfires; the other is "potential camp", Literally, it is possible to camp but the conditions are much worse.
Most of the camps have no obvious signs, and you must rely on experience and feeling to find them. If you miss a camp, it means that you have to row more than ten or twenty kilometers to reach the next camp.
The shore is either a dense forest or a rocky mountain, or it is soft and thick moss, which immediately sinks when stepped on. It is impossible to go ashore at any time, let alone find a flat place to pitch a tent.
There is no way, sailing against the current is not realistic at all, they can only continue to go downstream, but they summed up their experience and nervously inspected the terrain ahead, for fear of missing the next camp.
Fortunately, the God they had been praying for helped, and the hard work paid off. Seeing that the bank of the river vaguely looked like a small road leading to the slope, he learned the lesson from the previous time and pointed the bow of the boat towards the bank early. go up.
When I went ashore, I saw a perfect camp. There was enough ground for three tents in the middle of the tall woods. A few dead trees formed a "well" shape. In the center was a pile of bonfire ashes, with a lot of dry firewood piled beside it.
This is the trail of people!
