It's very deceptive. I have been up and down the river for 25 years. Last week my sled hit a hidden (to me) sand bar just inches under the water. The boat stopped and I didn't. When I got up from laying on the anchor bracket I still had the portable tiller handle in my hand. Shattered my sunglasses, cut my head, my nose, shoulder and a puncture wound to my leg. I felt like I was hit by Kam C.

I want to thank the gentleman that came over to me in his sled to see if I was still alive and offer assistance. The good news was that Drifter WA. was around to see it and shake his head.
