And so the floatilla formation begins! :lol:
Generally, I think that if I have the opportunity to paddle, and I've got something else to do or I feel like I shouldn't go for some reason, then I force myself to go and I always have a great time. So, I guess when in doubt -- Go, Paddle. -- Tommy Hilleke

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming....WOW What a ride! . . . . . Trying to live up to this, Priceless. As long as you have good insurance!

Thanks all for babysitting me down my inaugural Lower run. Highest I've ever done by about a foot, and first time I've seen Variation.

I decided discretion was the better part of valor at Hollywood, and portaged it.

Despite my swim at the end of Pipeline, I felt a whole lot more confident in the bigger water, and more stable in my boat. Had some good braces, and considered trying to roll after my flip, but honestly after feeling the chill I didn't want to be upside down any longer than I had to.... other than that the weather was great for a run.

Thanks again all!
