Traveling pretty much anywhere in Uganda is an adventure
worth writing about. The ferry – or lack thereof – from Entebbe to Kalangala
was out for service sometimes leaving islanders stranded for weeks on end. It
was our luck that another wooden vessel was functional on that windy day of
departure. Leaving Entebbe behind, the 88 islands offer some break from the
strong wind where even the birds found some shelter. None-the-less, we often
found ourselves holding on for dear life. As a Michigander, such waves are not
unfamiliar to me. Yet our coxswain seemed not to know the value of steering
into the wave rather than running parallel with it. Though drenched only a few
times, we managed to arrive safely with no vomiting accidents by any of the
horrified passengers.
