yep, fortunately (or not) Mountainman had a Shogun on sale 20% off, U$360

Physical damage to me was limited to skinning my knuckles, because I scrapped done on paddle blade until the shaft exploded under my right hand. I am still picking carbon fibre splinters out of my hand.

Seamus, did I spot a very expensive paddle in two pieces after the 2nd slide Eagle? Ouch, looked painful... --C.

Video makes all mistakes clear. 

Swim on Dog Leg because I drove right too early and got hung up on the second flake rock, which explains the gouge in the rail on the right side of my boat that you pointed out. 

Anyways, that first swim really screwed up my shoulder.  Doing a high speed pushup on a rock face is not recommended.  I saved my face, but as a result appear to have pulled a muscle in the shoulder (rotator cuff?) when I was rapidly pulled to the back deck.

Works for me Steve... sorry, didn't know how you shorten it. :P

PS: great movie... you can pretty much see exactly where you lose steam on your second run  ;)

Great day!

I think I left my water bottle in your car steph.

Steph?

I'll accept Stephen, or Steve, not Steph :)

Ya, I got the water bottle.  I'll bring it to the AGM unless you want it sooner. 

Shoulder is in bad shape, I should probably get it checked out.  Although I'm sure all the doctor will say is rest, ice, and elevation...

Video of the day is up at:

Steve, you were not alone in paying a visit to Beaverator. Fortunately no one had an extended stay.  Dog leg has dished out some nasty breaks to swimmers. You came through unscathed. This is a great little stretch to test boat control and focus and get immediate feedback in terms of rewards and consequences when you are dialled in and when not. I've never really worried about Beaverator before and never had an issue with the squirrelly water above it. Yesterday was my reminder to pay attention. Doing laps also gives you the chance to improve on your last run.   Great day!

What a fun river! 
Thanks Jon for leading the way through 3 laps of Taylorville.

First lap was pretty clean, second lap I swam out of the slot on the left of the island, and apparently hurt my shoulder.
Third lap, got my hubris handed back to me with swims through Beaverator and Dog Leg.  Somehow no video of the swim in Dog Leg though, must not have started the camera for that one.    I'll do something with the rest of the footage later and post a link.
