Westwater Apr 14th
We ran the Westwater canyon at 5120 cfs. Was a blast, we managed to flip an 18 foot cataraft on the Sock It to Me rapid. Everyone made it out ok, and ended up losing a hat and a disposable camera. Weather was perfect!
Not much action shots due to the fact that most of it is on video (with my helmet cam), I will dump it to Youtube and post it here, once I can figure out how to edit it all.

Nice video...I love seeing the mayhem, with people tripping all over themselves and yelling And the Bon Jovi was a nice touch.

I bet those guys never forget Sock it to me! Looks like a fun trip... how did the guys do that got wet? How cold was the water? Where they scared or had it under control?
Exciting video

This was a great experience for me, because I have never thought an 18 foot cataraft could be flipped like that. We had it packed totally wrong and had all the weight on the back. So it was VERY front light and couldn't make it over the wave. But from looking at all the other footage and seeing how light the cat was compared to the raft, I will stick with the raft from now on. The cat was too light and just surfed all the big waves, instead of breaking through them for some action.
So, are you coming down for the Friday trip, tanya?
