Rich, Voron, Cy's first run
Today was a great day on the water. We took Cy, Voron, Rich, and Erin down their first moving water run, doing Angler's to lock 10 at 3.4. We first hit Offut at which everyone did great. We skipped the long ferry to Tea Cups and opted to drift down to Yellow Falls. Again, everyone ran the rapid like champs. We then had some people swim the rapid for fun and training. Rich smacked the shit out of his ass (not literally!) and Cheyenne had a bit of an incident. She got stuck on a rock and was not so sure about how to proceed. I finally made a perfect throw to her if only to provide a security blanket and the "go now" provided by her Dad got her to finally bail off the rock.
Erin, a first time runner, also got hung up on a rock in her boat. That provided a bit of a good rescue practice thinking. She was leaning away from the rock and getting slowly worked more and more over. The water was a bit deeper than is recommended to wade in, but I was worried that if she flipped she might not know what to do and might smack her face or something on the rocks. In the end she finally got herself loose and all.
We only had one swimmer from my recollection, which is not bad considering we had four of them on their first moving water! And best of all, Rich actually nailed a bow rescue on Voron right in the middle of Stubblefield! Whoohoo!
