I had an underwater camera   ;D Were you prepared for plenty of underwater shots then.. :-X ;)
I do hope you didn't do many dives :o
6 hrs is a long time...did it feel that long? I bet you body feels it today.
How do keep on the raft..is it all just 'grab hold and wish luck' thing or do they strap you on somehow?

Hi folks,well I seem to have no after effects. I slept like a  baby last night and overslept this morning.

Sadly we didn't get dunked, I was a bit cheesed off about that LOL.

Goodlife, no they don't strap you on, you are just sitting on the pontoon sides, there is a rope between your kness to hold onto and that is it.

No need to do it again, been there done that now..

I would reccomend it though if anyone gets the chance, it was very thrilling.

The underwater camera was because you get soaked, the water crashes over you all the time so a regular camera would be ruined.

So off to do the laundry now.

Thank you for the support, you are a grand bunch

Now what was that idea about sky diving years ago.......................

 Jeannine, it sounds like you had a fantastic time  WELL DONE that girl!!!!! :P :-*.
I bet you are still on a high aren`t you. How brave you are.
Now i have heard of a club wanting volunteers to ride on the wing of a plane, now let me see i have your address somewhere here ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D.

[Jeannine]

Ha Ha , don't tempt me Rosebud..anyway not today, I had 10 large Sockeye salmon come unexpected yesterday so I am canning..all day.



I have to admit, I do feel adventurous, I always fancied crossing the country in a covered wagon..I wonder if they do re enactment holidays...oooh  I must look inot that.
I can just see myself trading mufffins for pumkin seeds with the Indians.

Jeannine, I'm so glad it all went ok and hooray for you for taking some ashes to let go.

I know what you mean about those life jackets, the instructor pulled mine so tight I could barely breathe - but on the plus side I had a nice chin rest! hahahaha.

I did find after about an hour that the way in which we told to sit really made my back ache though.  Unlike you, we were IN the boat, three across, if I remember rightly.  We had to sit with one leg crossed over the other at the ankle - with very little room to change position.  Spoilt my trip a bit.

I can't believe you were sat on the outside of the boat just clinging on for life - must have been soooo exciting - and wet!!  Were there lots of big ups and downs? I've seen that Hells Gate! :o

Really, really pleased it was all that you'd hoped for x 

[Jeannine]

San it was super, the more rough it got  the better I liked it. I kaughed till ny ribs hurt.

I could not have sat like you did, no way, so when you come back you will have to go with the company I went with...Kumsheena,, look them up and you will see the video and the difference in the rafts.

It feels great to realise a dream
