"THE RIDE"
Once during the summer of 1983, my mom wanted to go for
a ride
down river because it was such a beautiful day. The sun was shining
and it was a nice calm day. So she asked my dad and he said, "Alright." She then
told Joe Joe, Monica, Matthew, and I that they
were going and asked if we wanted to
come along. We all yelled, "Yeah!"
We were running all over the house looking for our socks, boots,
coats, hats, gloves, and life jackets. We were so excited about going
that it took us a long time to find them. But we did.
After all that was done, we walked down to the boat which was
located behind our house and across the road.
We all got into the boat; my dad started the motor and we took
off. He followed the slough slowly until he reached the calm, blue,
cold river. When we reached it, he started to speed up. Faster and
faster we went! It was exciting and fun feeling the nice cool wind
against my face and flowing freely through my hair. It felt so good
to be out on the river enjoying it as we sped along.
We cruised down the river, passing fish camps and other boats that
were on the river. We waved at some of the boats because we knew the
people in them. We passed a village called Oscarville then Napaskiak.
We drove a little further downriver until we reached Napakiak. After
looking at the village for a while from out on the water, we
continued on.
We came to a little slough which we followed for a while. Then we
stopped and had a little picnic of hot dogs, chips, and soda pop.
It was then that we noticed the clouds were starting to come in
from the ocean.
"It's going to rain," said my dad. "We should go back."
By the time we reached the river, the sun was gone and the wind
was stronger than before. The waves were pretty bad and we had to go
very slowly. I was getting scared because it
was becoming very rough and we still had a long way to
go until we got home.
We continued moving up river at a slow pace because of the big
waves. And all of us in the boat were bouncing up and down as the
waves hit the sides of the boat.
When we finally reached Napakiak, I was so happy! My mom and the
others were too! We waited for a while in Napakiak until the waves
got smaller, then we went on a little faster.
We passed Napaskiak and Oscarville and finally reached Bethel. By
then, the waves
weren't so high and it wasn't as
windy as down river. We all were very happy!
When we found ourselves home at last, we all went to bed and fell
fast asleep. (And dreamed about boat riding!)
THE END!
