We went to Nissequogue River to canoe. Theresa had to paddle the whole five and a half miles because Goddaughter and Godbuddy were the only other passengers in that canoe and they rotated with each other. The other canoe had Godnephew, Godchum, and Godfriend plus Dad. They had all the food and drink at the beginning until we made a rest stop at a small patch of sand that we stopped our canoes at. The Nissequogue is a tidal river (also known as an estuary river) which means that there's tides on the rivers so the water goes different ways every couple of hours. We went the direction of the tide as soon as the tide started flowing from the Long Island Sound inland. Theresa's canoe got stuck on a pipe that was just far enough underwater that you couldn't see it but just high enough that we could get stuck. The other canoe had to help them and strangers in kayaks and passing canoes helped also and eventually they got out. We went five and a half miles until we got back to where the car was. At the end of the river there was a bridge where we had to get out and drag the canoes to the shore.
