2011 Roundup

2011 turned out to be the second most prolific boating year yet. I got in a total of 86 boating days, of which 63 were IK runs. I boated in 4 states (WA, OR, ID, and MT) and one other country (Costa Rica). I got in 12 personal first descents, but only flipped 8 times.

As the year ends, I have a total of 827 river days since 1989, with an average of 37 days per year. My 5 year average is 79 days per year. To make 1000 days by June 2014, I need to average 72 days per year for the next 17 months.

My goals for 2011 are:

• Boat at least 75 days.
• Learn to reflip my cataraft.
• Run Boulder Drop at least 5 times.
• Run Fall in the Wall on the SF Snoqualmie
