No incident to speak of and everyone was on time!

I think we were 12 or 13 overall.
A few more scratches on Dr Christian and his equipment, maybe.
Tibor had a good scare out of his boat through Lower No Name.
And Paul, you left your metal water bottle I believe.
Definitively a fun and relaxing day for me.
And everyone left with a big smile.

Well, not quite true...Tibor needed some strong medicine to recover from swimming the right side (i.e. shallow side) of Lower No-Name, and if it wasn't for Sean's efforts, I would have been hand paddling everything after Angel's Kiss. And I think Larry might disagree about the punctuality.
But! For myself, I was quite happy about the run. I managed to thread the needle at McKoy's! Well joke aside, I nailed Little Trickle with no effort... only to flip above Angel's Kiss and be pinned upside-down against a rock. The incident would give me an opportunity to practice repairing gear: I noticed a two inch tear in my dry pants (and corresponding damage to my thigh). That would explain my difficulties swimming, with 15 liters of water in each leg...
BTW, the level was 17 3/4 at the Owl gauge. See you all soon!
