Aaron,

360 moves through the boulder patches are the way to go!! Thought for sure I was going to get hung up on a rock or two. As you can see from the top of that rapid the one boat was pulled over to scout and I rolled up, was going to read and run it, but then the guy in the red boat was parallel with me so I tried to slow up and give him a second to get in front of me which messed up my planned line a bit.

I found out by watching some other videos there is a line that is far left and is quite a bit easier... and the only route at low water. The guide book we had read said stay right at high/medium water and we were right at that threshold between medium and low.

Ladle I definitely want a couple oar strokes back so could have stayed on my planned line.. but sometimes it doesn't go as planned and you have to keep calm, don't panic, and roll with what you got in front of you and hope for the best. Very lucky to not have a pine branch squarely planted in the side of my boat.
