It was a warm and tranquil evening the night my parents and I ventured across Nemeiben Lake, in Northern Saskatchewan. ① This vast lake, that expanded 26miles across, had a reputation as being the best fishing and tourist resort in the province.

The sun was setting behind the dark rolling clouds massing on the horizon. We had just unloaded our belongs needed for a three-day stay at a secluded cabin across the lake. With the boat undocked and the gear and luggage stored beneath the security of the seats, we set off into the settin sun at 8:30.

② I had never been on a fishing boat before and was captivated by the speed and grace in which it jutted through the waves. The lake ws deserted as the sky began to darken, looking more threatening by the minute.

And then suddenly the laughter and chatter stopped. The boat hit something with such force we all fell over in our seats. The loud clunk vibrated the boat temporarily, before water started to trickle slowly over the stern. My father went to the back and after many attempts to start the engine, had a look of utter panic on his face. ③ The water was now rushing in at a much faster rate. Tipping the boat at an awkwardangle.

The overloaded boat was now ankle deep in water. We tried frantically to scoop water from its interior. But it was no use. The water was gushing in quickly. The luggage and gear were bobbing on the water’s surface. In a matter of minutes, everything in this luxurious boat would be on the bottom of the lake.
