Raft building!

Another superb day! Both groups have now built and sailed upon their raft's without them capsizing fortunately. Interestingly, both groups designed their rafts differently based on their own ideas and the preferred method of the instructor. Unlike the other group, the raft which you see Charlie tugging strenuously on was made without using any knots! Instead we used the Woodman's hitch and Clove hitch to tie the raft together. The barrels were not attached to the frame either with this raft! We relied purely on gravity and the buoyancy of the barrels to stay afloat! Amazingly, both groups completed this challenge without getting wet - including rain!
