All I ever done was like, on the river. I used the boat, eh, on the river, and maybe get some wood that’s drifting by, you know, and as far as anything else that’s about the only thing. I’d travel, you know, travel on water with a boat or canoe, cross the river where people grow vegetables or else I’d paddle across the island get them butternuts, bring them in, or went on to Gilbert’s Island, Duck’s Island, or else I’d go hunting on there, after school I’d go. Paddle over, stay there until say about 6 o’clock maybe get one duck and come back. Like I say I enjoyed that. Couldn’t swim, just paddled around no life jacket. Me all alone out there, just me and the dog. No I, if I could go back to that way I would again.
