Today I was in the stern of grasshopper. It was my first time being in the back of such a big boat, and it was a little overwhelming at first. The steering was a little difficult but I got much better as we got downstream! We paddled from Island 62 to a channel that connects Desoto Lake and the Mississippi River. I have been learning so much about the geography and layout of this section of the river, and I can't wait to learn more!
