In spite of the prediction of three days of bad weather, the 6th and 7th grade girls from Lincroft braved the elements and came to Sedge. While they were prepared for the worst possible conditions, they were pleasantly surprised when the only rain to fall was in a brief shower during their last night on the island.
Fishing turned out to be one of the most popular activities. Although the fish were not biting, they kept on trying. Patience paid off as the girl who caught the only fish was the one who spent the most time with her hook in the water.
Everyone enjoyed kayaking so much on the first day that they decided to go on an all day expedition. They paddled to the inlet with no trouble. They had lunch on the beach and took a quick wade in the ocean. Their paddle back to the house via the Horse Foot Slough was uneventful until just north of Pete McLain’s house. The increasingly strong wind (gusting to 25kts) pushed many of the kayaks away from the landing at Sedge that was then only 200 yards away. The girls and three teachers were struggling to make headway against the wind so Jim and Ryan went for the small power boat and towed in several boats. Although the girls were frightened, over half the group stated that kayaking was the best thing that they did.
