Bonjour

Well the rain has eased but not stopped, and the river has dropped to a more sensible level for paddling. I got out amongst it yesterday afternoon and had my arse handed to me by the river. It probably didn't help that I was paddling alone for my second run down the river.

This morning our paddling group had a decidedly international flavor, 4 Aussie boys, an american and a French guy pretending to be an american. The river was slightly lower today, I paddled much better this morning, it is amazing the difference paddling positively and having a bit more of a idea where to go makes.

More time on the course this afternoon and I should be starting to get a handle on where to go.

I will use the GoPro this Arvo so I will post a short clip tomorrow of the last 5 minutes.

I have also put some photos up of me paddling this morning and of the view from our back porch up the valley.
