Ok, you guys don't seem to be able to see the facts right. First off, as I said before I have a lot of raft miles under my belt. So you can believe me when I say that I almost lost my life. No joking matter. When a member of your party is dying 50 feet away, who doesn't go and help? I think we need certifications and more regulation of running rivers. That way you can rely on people when you need. Grif never signed in. He was the leader and was responsible for evverybody on the river. Grif failed us all when he floated by drinking his Shlitz and talking to hi sk### of a GF.
Summit, why did you make up that PM? I didn't send that. But YOU are MEAN.
Griff was drinking Schlitz! And you were blowing your whistle! Your whistle! And you were dying! 50 feet away!
god I love this thread. this is the he-brought-a-gun-to-the-take-out thread for 08.
if he was floating by why didn't you swim over to his raft? somebody with rafting experience would have known that. if your raft flips are you going to hold on the the first rock you see or are you going to swim like hell to catch it? swim like hell.... should be the correct answer unless you are running ahh gore or the green river narrows not class 2
The water's getting deeper. Dig,dig. All back- paddle, paddle, paddle.

Hey litigious swimmer - maybe you could take all the great advice from this column and make it into a blog post for gunnylines.com. It could be titled something like "When you're about to die drop your heavy, waterlogged vessel and swim your ass to shore".
People actually were pretty nice to you at first and gave you some good advice. I can understand why people have become a bit less friendly as the thread has progressed. A lot of people on here have seen some scary shit go down on the river, and you may lack perspective.
Yakchick- I think you need to stick to commercial trips. You will have a "certified" trip leader. There will be lots of silly regulations to make you feel safe. And they will humor you when you moan and cry about how you "almost died" in flatwater.

they also give you a speech on how to preform an aggressive self rescue
I think the NEW yakgirl101 is an impostor since this is he/she/it's 1st post and the original yakgirl had her username changed.
But this is funny shit anyway!

even during a high-water season the buzz still doesn't lose its sense of humor. some might say i wasted 20 minutes reading through this all, but i can't stop smiling
