Lockies P.O.V


Friday. The last day. It was hard to believe it had been 4 days here, and this was our last. Today we were rafting six kilometres down the inlet, then five down a river and then we get too get back on the bus and go home.


We all woke up, slowly, and ate our breakfast and packed our things into our heavy bags. We only had to walk five minutes and the rafts were already sitting there, waiting or us.

Beth (Instructor): Okay guys, well done! You survived four nights on Outward Bound. Now for your last challenge, rafting back. Have fun and be in groups of four. You should all have a compass in your raft and hopefully that will guide you back to the bus, either that, or you staying here for a while. Good luck! It was great instructing you guys and I'll see you all next year!


I didn't even have to ask, I already knew who my group of four was.


Emily's P.O.V


I looked out into the huge inlet, it's going to be freezing. Sophie and I sat in the front of the raft and Jack and Lockie sat behind us.


We started paddling, slowly, I was tired after about four metres of paddling. We were talking, about the most random shit.


Sophie: It's so big.

Jack: That's not the only thing that's big around here.

Lockie: Yeah, the other thing that is big is your ego, dumbass

Jack and Sophie: Rude!

Lockie: Sorry kids, been waiting for the right time to say that, which is a long time.

Emily: Riight. So, how are you guys feeling about our last day?

Jack: I'm happy. I can finally wank in peace.

Emily: Not what I mean, but, typical of you too say.
