On Friday my friend Niall and I decided to canoe across the Yukon River with all the ice chunks coming down from White River. I don't have much experience with ice and it was quite scary. When we were moving the canoe into the water we had to walk across some of the ice. I used my paddle to test the strength of the ice but near the edge I stepped too quickly and fell right through the ice. My adrenaline running wild... Luckily I was holding onto the canoe and my life jacket kept me somewhat above water.
Anyway I went to go change into some dry wool pants and headed back out to the river. Once on the river, the current seemed to be going quite slowly and we were able to navigate between the ice chunks.
We made it up to West Dawson, I got to pop in on Rian and deliver a little present back to town.. All in all it was a wonderful adventure!
Oh I had to go get my passport thats why we went across!
