They slogged across, the weather turned a bit, they bucket bailed due to a lack of knowledge on how to use their spray skirt but they made it. As they loaded their rented kayak onto the shuttle back to the mainland the operator looked and asked them the question, "...in THAT?" They nodded and took their seats care free. It wasnt their time to worry. They were young.
