Once again Uli and I were swimming again, just after lunch.
WhiteWater flipped the boat at Bedrock Rapids. It took three people to get it back upright — just before another rapid.
One of the oars on The Queen of Denial II was bent at a 40 degree angle — and Uli and I swam (i.e. bounced off rocks) the rest of the rapid. WW got a little banged up — I lost my hat, swallowed a bunch of water, and my sandals were found floating and retrieved.
My day bag was swamped, but the other bag is dry so at least I’ll have a dry sleep. I’m now wearing Jay’s spare polypro.
And now it’s time for rice and dahl for dinner (my favorite, not) and ensalada caprese (truly a favorite).
I love Gena’s homeopathic tinctures — especially the brandy based one for hypothermia.
Early day tomorrow as our afternoon was shot from our unplanned regrouping. On the river by 9am.
