Attempting to float with a hole in the boat

Murky, muddy water. Looks inviting doesn't it. Well let me shit you not, the mission to get to this point nearly nursed me to my 80th birthday.
We arrived at the place in Entwistle where we bought a pass to hop on the shuttle (more like a shot to the head) to take us down to the river. There where we got dropped of we floated down the Pembina River for 1 1/2 hours where the shuttle (shot to the head) picked us up again and brought us back to the car. The wait to buy the ticket for the shuttle took 2 bloody hours. So once again, the shuttle ticket took 2 hours to buy and the river took 1 1/2 hours to float down. 2 hours to buy a 1 1/2 hours to float down. 2 hours vs 1 1/2 hours.............. sorry, just doing the maths here.
WELL BANG ME STUPID, either I am a spoilt prick or there is something seriously wrong here with the business that provides this service.
If you have the luxury of driving to the river and have another car waiting for you at the other end then I assure you that you will have a tremendous day. If you are forced to catch this shuttle (shot to the head) to the river then put on a brave face and just keep looking forward because once you get on the water it will nearly be worth it.


YEP!
