      Travis was brought in specifically for performing rescues at the chute... Usually when there is more water, it is at least a little more cushioned.

    The troll under the high bridge gets pretty pushy in low water doesn't it! (I broke my paddle across the blade there last fall in similar low water). Looks like the camera bracket you built held up well in the shallow water tip!

      Thank you. The mast was fine. Surprisingly, since it is wrapped in a floaty cushion, the camera sustained some cosmetic damage.

      Yes, the Troll is concertedly determined to smash you into the left wall.

    Matt, is the speed changed or is it just a trick of perspective with your camera set-up?

      I don't know what you mean. It has a fish-eye lens for the very wide perspective, everything appears farther away than it actually is.

      @@wildernesscanoeassociation it seems “faster” than I remember going, I wasn’t sure if it was just because you are more focused on the horizon with your camera. The helmet cameras seem to focus more on the water. It’s a lot easier to watch!

      @@rainavingerhoeds6154 Part of solo playboat is that you have to keep maintaining forward momentum in order to have any control. There isn't a lot of coasting. So the difference may be a tendency to keep paddling forward down a rapid, as opposed to in a tandem, where there is more motivation to put on the brakes.
