The next challenge was getting a boat. With no money to spend on rentals, the group turned to Craigslist and scored a free boat from a local who was eager to get rid of it.

As the snow melts and the days get longer, college students across the country start to feel the stirrings of restlessness. It's time to shake off the books, ditch the routine, and embark on an unforgettable adventure.
