YRC con't.
Alright, I'm already getting tired of doing this. In the afternoon of this 2nd day we went on boating excursion which for me was the best thing of the whole trip. We stepped from our ship to a ferry boat which took us across the river and down the Shennong Stream. At a pontoon dock we transferred to a small boat they call a pea pod because that is the shape of it. Four oarsmen and 2 captains take 13-15 people further down the stream. One captain is at the back steering with a wooden rudder and the other captain is sitting on the bow. A guide is telling us about the scenery and the water. There are gorges, the narrowest point barely allows 2 boats to pass each other but that is only about 10 feet long at that point. The water of the Yangtze is muddy but the American's aboard say the Mississippi is worse. This stream at this point is also muddy. We row for about 40 minutes then the crew gets out and pulls the boat further along in extremely shallow water. This part is nerve wracking and I feel like we are being in
