The level is going down at a steady rate, it won't be long before the channel where the boat is dries up.

Something in Common

Well...

Jean-Nicolas and I both have something in common. We both lost our boats, pinned and submerged.

HOHW - race was good, my lines were strong and confident - awesome.

Upper Pet - The river was high, beautiful as always... words of wisdom: SCOUT YOUR RAPID. I made the mistake I preach against. I did not scout. I followed somebody's beta and should have checked myself.
Long story short: just before the take-out, after the crux, I got spun around by a hole and entered another hole backward. I rolled and pitoned in the hole and could not get out. I swam out and got out in flooded woods. Not a good spot.
The boat continued further and got pinned and submerged.

Anyways, here's to you J-N! Lets get my boat out (if it's still there) and I'll have my booty beer with you.

Jack (with injured pride).
P.S. I'll be at Bate's Island after work today.
