Title: Saturday Middle trip report

Thanks to Chris for organizing this amazing river run! We all had fun.  No swims and great camaraderie :D.

Paul ;D

Hey Paul,

What was the level at the Owl gauge?

I ran the Petawawa (except for Lovers, I wimped out--so next time!) in the Super Star, and was rather impressed by the river running ability of what is billed by JK as "The Ultimate Playboat"! I was (happily) surprised to find myself upright the whole time in Railroad, Suicide etc...

I think it was closer to 16 when later in the afternoon. 

Christian - you've run lover's before?  what happened man?

I'm a little heavier than you in my super star, and the river running ability drops off.  I'll still run garvins with it, but it's really essential to stay over the boat.

Well... Now I know the boat is suited for that kind of rapid. Just wasn't sure then, so I wussed out...  --C.
