Watching from the river bank at one of the
rapids, we could hear the guide shouting instructions to the
paddlers. Hunkered over
for balance and clutching his oar, the guide shouted, “We’ve got
to hit this one fast, so paddle as hard as you can. Go!”
The six passengers in the yellow raft gave it their all.
The bulky craft hesitated briefly when it hit
the wall of water facing them, tilting precariously, then it broke
through and picked up speed. It
bucked and tossed through the hydraulics below the rapid giving its
passengers a thrilling ride. At
the bottom, paddlers shook the water from their smiling faces, and
paused to catch their breath. They
are having a blast.
