Can you believe all this rain? I don't think I have ever witnessed such high water and fast moving current as we did Saturday between the Key and Chain Bridges!
And when did Jack's launch rates go up to $10.00? That's a little steep, guys!
Five of us launched from Jacks headed up river fighting a manageable current until we hit Fletchers. Then Cat called. She got her boathouses screwed up and launched from Thompson. And it was her first time out this year, so she really had to hump to catch up. She was in fine form!
Once past Fletchers, the current really kicked in. In mid-stream, forward progress was nearly impossible, but a few of us crept up near shore and managed to get nearly to Chain Bridge where we were cut short by a small fall that was impossible to climb. It took us 2 hours to get there, but we cruised back to Jack's on the current in less than 1/2 hour. We all got a nice workout, and Josh captured four or five stray balls. What's the total for the year, Josh?
We hope to get some pictures posted soon. Stay tuned.
