The past two days were very interesting days.
I went with all the leaders from our Royal Ranger scouts on a Canoehike.
We started at our church GadW in Tegel. There we packed our things in waterproof baggs and then carried the boats to the near place where we watered them.
God blessed our trip, because it did not rain, nobody capsized and we arrived safely at the most beautiful place I could ever imagine. A new build house directly at the lake owned by a watercraft paddling club. It was huge and looked like a five star hotel with pool, gym, etc. from the outside. Of course it turned out to be a "normal" house. Still it was quiet comfortable and unusual for a paddling club.
This comfort is the reason for nobody using the accessoires we had brought with us. We were able to cook like we do at home ;D
Well we went on having a good time of worship and then hearing a word from Daniel.
He spoke about leadership and how we could live it out in our teams. More about that here.
Since we did not have any games with us, like card games or board games, we went on playing communication games. They are at first awkward, but then you realize they are a lot of fun. And since we had our primary school teacher Rüdiger with us we had tons of those ^^
The next day we were on our way back home. And since some people wanted to try other boats we changed. So nobody complained about any inequality. We also took another route home. We went through Small Venezia, which is a very nice area of canals and their owners of land right at the water.
But still we had to pass the lock which was a lot of fun, because we had too carry our boats with a lorry.
Then it happend. We had changed boats again. In one boat were three of our guys which seemed to be to much. After 20 min. in this constellation the waves swapped over in the boat! And suddenly three people were swimming in the cold, cold water. Thank God we were close to the shore, so we were able to carry the boat there and dry up again.
After that we have learned, that the boat we build ourselves is not able to carry three heavy people.
We continued our journey and were able to arrive safely back at our home.
It was an awesome trip with some action and good relationship between friends!
