72 - 9/25/2011 - Upper Tieton

We only had 3 boats for this last run on the Tieton for the year. In the rapid below the lunch stop, I took the big hole on the left with a little too much left angle and flipped. I tested my theory about jamming the paddle under the seat and it did make flipping the boat over easier. I was back in the boat within about 15 seconds, ready for the next rapid. The catboater following me was more nervous about this than I was.
