Excitement on the
Yukon
"One calm summer day my family, Ray,
Fred, Charlotte, Ray Jr., Darlene Fitka and I decided to go on a boat
ride across to Owl Slough. The weather was great, and it was so warm
along the way we stopped at a sandbar and had some snacks. While in
Owl Slough we did a little rodding. The water was calm until we got
towards the mouth of Owl Slough when we hit a gust of wind. We
stopped near the mouth thinking the gust of wind would soon pass. But
after a little while it seemed to be getting worse, so Ray thought we
should head home before a storm came up.
When we got to the mouth of Owl
Slough we were shocked to see how rough it was on the Yukon. Since we
had a small wooden boat we were too scared to head directly across
the wider part of the river, so we ran along the edge of the Yukon
until we got to a narrower part to cross. We were all scared, and I
don't remember if we all had life jackets on. At that time I had the
kids sit on the floor of the boat with me. Every time we hit a wave I
could hear the kids scream. I was pretty scared but tried to remain
calm. I also tried to calm the kids.
We finally made it to Goose Island.
The trip that was only several hundred yards across felt like it took
a whole day to do. As soon as we landed, the kids and I jumped out of
the boat to dry out. While we were on the island we had a little
snack and the kids played in the sand. I was wondering when it would
ever calm down. Ray suggested we head up towards Willow and then go
home by that slough.
When we got up around Willow the
waters were really calm and we made it home in one piece. From that
day on I always thought it wise to take life jackets for everyone in
the boat and be prepared for any sudden weather change.
