Dude, man that sucked, sorry you broke the boat. You missed Renee almost getting drowned and hypothermia on Boulder drop. She swam and got stuck in a bad recirculating hydraulic. If it wasn't for Rob M she may have not made it out of there. It was really scary! I felt so bad for her.

Dave told me about this. It's the pourover (at this level) just above house rock. I play in that thing. Dang! It sounds like everything turned out alright. I understand she swam from the top. Dang. At least she didn't break a hip.

Ya, it's the poorover just below Chris's Crack river right center sort of. Kind of a nasty feature at the right lower water level. She just kept going round and round.............
