Before I start, it was nice meeting you Fishgal and Bob. Ok, well, I came up right behind Bob (just missed him) and saw the boat right after it washed out. It's a hairy spot, but nothing bad at all as long as you know what you're doing (and haven't been drinking). I've run much worse on other rivers (class III/V). At first I was worried, hell there was no bodies, an oar and tons of float gear in the water. Then, to make light of it, we (my girlfriend, myself, and my girlfriends Dad) gave the mystery floaters the name Bob (not for you Bob but as in floating bob). But, as we went downriver we saw a boot, their floorboards, and a wooden boatbox. I didn't know Bob was ahead of me w/clients until later that day on pullout. I kept thinking I'd find a body around next corner (which would kinda ruin a fishing day, dontcha think?). Once I found out they'd been drinking it pissed me off. Save it for the trailer/home after you're done, not before and while you're fishing. Hell, I even found a can of Heineken floating unopened in the canyon. At least they survived, hopefully they learned their lessons.
