We decided perhaps the other boat was not getting wet enough. - 140 4032
Surfing. Just after going over a rapid, we paddled hard back to it and sort of lodged the raft in the eddy underneath it. It was fun--it filled up various parts of the raft with water. Kind of a mini version of dangerous eddies on larger rapids. - 140 4033

Bryan stuffs the camera into his PFD for a first-person(ish) perspective of Maytag. - 140 4069
After we got through Maytag, Bryan sprints back up to get a video of Ryan's raft going over. They lose someone, but she gets pulled back in in no time. - 140 4070

Everyone's favorite Brazilian couple. - 139 3991
Bryan gets one of his first dousings of the day (Ali and Bryan got many, being in the front). The water was mostly snow melt and hence was pretty damned cold. - 139 3994
Boat meeting. Near is Ryan's boat, and behind them the Swedes. - 139 3997
Various pics of us tooling down the river follow... - 139 3999
