69 - 10/9/2010 - Green Gorge

Me and Mini-Me

The forecast promised a lot of rain, but it arrived late, so we took advantage of a reasonable flow on the Green to run the gorge. There were a handful of IKs and a couple of small catarafts on the trip. A friend let me use her little 9x16 cat (aka, "Mini-Me") on the last third of the run. That was a lot of fun! As you can see from the photo, the boat is tiny. My feet were just barely out of the water, the oars hit my knees, and it was impossible to straddle rocks unless I stood on them. Still, it showed me what I could do with a small boat.
