Hmmm. "Lewis" is still conspicuously absent from this thread.

In my eternal effort to alway be fair, I cannot divulge the identity of 'Lewis" but I will be happy to answer questions that can be answered with 'plausable denyability'
I will give a hint to the identity of 'Tiny Tim' - he has an abnormally small head for a grown man!
Cheers

As the person who rescued "lewis" I believe that our tradition is good and just. The River Gods demand that justice prevail here. The nectar of the booty must be consumed, if wine is needed, then so be it, by this point he probably owes a wine barrel worth anyway. One could conclude, that because the booty is always neglected by this particular person, swims will happen more often to him as a result. Obey tradition! Bottoms up!

ok ok..... I gots to weigh in on this one....
There is no depth of water that can be called a NON swim. So if your skirt is pulled.... either by you or other natural factors.... CONGRATS.... you swam!!! matter of fact..... even if you don't have a skirt and are using a canoe, or a IK and you fall out in ankle deep, you are swimming.
Ankle deep....2" deep, 100' deep.... you exit boat... you swimming!
Some people love to swim.... I tend to call them dangerous...or maybe just masochistic.... Then there are others like Michael Phelps who could prolly happily swim some really nasty stuff.... Still I would personally consider that dangerous/borderline masochistic.
I myself think that if you have not swam in class III water then maybe you should consider doing it. REALLY. When was the last time you swam a class III rapid? it's actually quite exhilarating, even kinda fun. OK....so if you are getting out of your boat....slip, and fall in the water..... you don't owe booty beer, and maybe you didn't even swim(unless you had to paddle to make it to shore....cause then you were swimming). Some people purposefully jump off high rocks to swim.
OK....so.... Booty beer..... Hmmm, if you have a fungal anomaly on your feet....maybe booty beer is not a good idea for you. In fact, what I suggest for someone like that is to carry an extra booty that is clean...... Otherwise... I am a fan of the booty gods getting what they need. I got a great game based on this actually.
Lastly, sorry James...but you know how much I like beating on dead horses(there are some old posts about it...kinda morbid actually).
AND.....I am going to change my signature to better reflect my feelings after this article.

I agree! I like to swim Shovel Spur on the Upper Skagit (S-turns). We should all swim more!!!

Hey James, I was just posing a "what if?" Not like anything like that would ever happen. But that was some good WWF action on the BHW.

Hey Larry,
I thought I would chime in. I will never forget the time you should have swam on the Skook when you were stuck out there surfing...you were like a cage fighter out there! I didn't even know you were stuck on the wave, I thought you were doing all that on purpose!!!!

I would not want to re-enact the whole debauckle but it is still funny to re-call that day... What a bunch of goons we are!!! And quite honestly after a stunt like that if someone pushed me into the river right from the bank... I would say I owe a booty beer for that too!!!! King of the Wave!!!!

So.... If you fall into the water getting out.... yep you are swimming, but I don't think that counts as booty beer.
And...even if you self rescue...... you owe the booty gods.
Long live foot fungus!
