funny gaper
ok - so i'm a total dork, as your post reminds me of my gorge run 2 weeks ago - sunshine drop, my partner goes thru, get's pushed into the eddy, i am following (obviously too close), as i go thru the drop, and my partner has still not left the eddy - so here we are, 2 dorks in a small eddy, only feet from the biggest hole/hydraulic on the run - i finally get my 1970's boat pointed downstream, and attempt to take off, when i can't get enough momentum to escape the re-circ, and get sucked into the hole, for a 30 second washing machine impression. at least my buddy gets a good view while i'm getting worked.
made it thru the rest at least.
so in summary - watch that hole if you're a gaper like me!
