Canoes, Caves, Matches
While Max was exploring the Otaki forks in his canoe he passed some caves, when he looked back he was vastly approaching some white rapids. Often the rapids are too dangerous for canoes but today the river was at around 30% flow rate. The Otaki river changes it flow rates every few hours depending on how much rain there has been in the past few days.
Max took a stop on the side of the river to eat some food, he had bought no food in his pack. He had bought a line and hook so he went to the banks and picked a worm out of the ground, chucked it on his hook and the worm went flying into some still water. While Max waited he decided to light a fire to cook the fish he would hopefully catch. He flicked a match into the fire and set alight to the bundle of dry sticks. Little did he notice he had dropped the rest of the matches into the small pit and the fire blazed up to his moustache and burnt a few hairs.
Once he had caught his fish he cooked it in the amber of the fire and sat back for a few minutes. When his fish was cooked he gobbled it up and set on his way back home on his yellow canoe, down the rapids and rocks he went till he reached the Otaki bridge and drove home.
