"I probably should have thought to bring a rope," Kate said in a considering tone, helping Effy rock the canoe through the sand and up further onto the beach. Although she was aware that the tide came in and went out, she never gave it much thought beyond that and had no idea just how far the water would creep up the beach. "That way we could get it tied to a tree or something, too. Wouldn't have to worry about it floating away in the middle of the night."
Someone would come get them eventually, but it sort of took the adventurous part out of the adventure if they had to be rescued.
"Wait, there's some junk by the trees," she said, jogging across the sand to an old box and some weird looking papers. It felt strange to be picking through things that had obviously belonged to someone else at some point, but eventually she returned with a rope that still felt fairly strong. "This should work."
