Wednesday 26 June - We canoed down the
Wheaton River. Godfrey and I made it, Chris and
Jim didn't. They tipped under a sweeper, lost
one running shoe, one poncho, a jacket, soaked
Jim's camera and watch, and wrecked Canoe
#13. We left at 1015 hrs and after a 7-mile
crossing of Bennett Lake we arrived at Carcross.
The lake was smooth as glass - we never saw it
like that again on our next two trips.
