18 June 09 William River

Arriving at the astonishing dune field adjacent to the river
Keith and Pat paddling past the dune field
Major ledges, run and lined solo by Chris
Gear and the other boats were portaged across the dunes. Here Malcolm shoulders his canoe
Nearing the end of a long day paddling, a thunderstorm starts to break upon us.

Shortly afterwards we made a camp and then the heavens opened, and the rain was so heavy it could not even drain into the sand. Fortunately it only lasted an hour or so, after which we could raise a tarp and set up a camp for cooking.
