Quite happy with the way that this part turned out.
I don't look too much over half bad. :P

Still, lost nose plug, and was dizzy/disoriented and not quite ready to down down the next step - missed the eddy; then I sat on my tail, got flipped and pushed against the island. Feeling the rock beside me while upside down, I bailed out. Hence the 2nd footage without a paddle.

We can see at the end of that first sequence that my tail is already low on the water...
Felt like a spent a lot more time than I wanted on that tail during the day.
Same through Lower No Name, I flew off the 3rd wave.

Since then I moved my seat forward another inch and half.

Now what we need to see is Christian doing over the rock next at Angel Kiss...while kissing fishes instead of angels...
The scales were a lot sharper than Little Trickle's embrace.

A few weeks ago, when the level was at 20.5, Cleo, Chris, Annie, Dr Christian and I went down the Middle Channel on the Ottawa. Chris was able to capture another episode of my life against Little Trickle. Little to say, we are getting to know each other.

Good or bad and thanks to Chris, here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZNIluVShdQ



The way you explained it Louis, it sounded like a big beatdown, but you actually looked good! Who knew?

Good on you.

Paul  ;D

And on to the next chapter, in which our hero, after a refreshing swim below Little Trickle, decides to grab the rapid below Angel's Kiss with his bare hands (so to speak)...
