  1. Back at camp, after a good three hours on the water.
    Shorter than usual, but it was COLD 🥶

    I still gave it all I had. My head was doing well today, and I pushed myself hard. Some stuff worked, some didn’t - but at least I know why.

    Had one risky moment where I flipped, didn’t manage to roll quickly, hit a few stones in flat water, but eventually managed to get myself upright again. Thanks, helmet! 🪖😵‍💫

  6. A question to more experienced kayakers:

    Is there ever a point where, just before setting out from home / camp, you stop asking “did I really pack my spray deck?”

  11. Quite unusually, we actually stuck to the plan. I had an early start to the day. My group members loaded
    their gear into my car, I left camp at 7:45, drove into town, and had the best breakfast of the week avocado toast with beetroot hummus 😋

    Then some waiting, some driving, and we actually got on the water by 1pm. Focused practice for a couple of moves, and then a fairly relaxed guided run through the “graveyard” section, which went well.

    Now I’m tired… 🥱

  16. Tomorrow we’ll get up early, because the road out from the campsite will be blocked for works starting at 8am 🫩

    We’ll do the Srpenica - Trnovo section of the Soča, which the Germans know as “the graveyard”. Not because it’s particularly dangerous, but because you get out near a graveyard.

    Still, it’s a more challenging section than what we’ve had so far, and one of Europe’s classic runs. I look forward to paddling there again!

  21. Today is break day on the kayak course. The road out from the campground is blocked for resurfacing, and there’s thunderstorms predicted.

    We’d happily paddle in the rain, since we get wet anyway, but lightning strikes are a risk when you’re the highest thing on a flat water surface.

  28. Whew! 😅 everything is packed up.

    Tomorrow, I’m driving to #Slovenia, for a long week of #whitewater #kayaking in the Soča valley. I’ve booked a freestyle course. This will be challenging, but fun!

  33. It’s been a hectic day, and I’m tired and a little stressed.

    But I need to remind myself that the main reason I’m stressed is that a) I spent last weekend kayaking with the kids; and b) that I will spend all of next week taking a freestyle #whitewater #kayaking course on the Soča river.

    So it’s a nice problem to have.

  39. Whitewater rafting on the Illinois River, near Grants Pass, Oregon, through the biggest rapid, the Green Wall, a class V, on a sweep boat no less (making it extra-difficult).

    I've floated this stretch of river at least 15 times, its wild, 32 miles and 36 named rapids.

  44. The next instant was pure chaos as the wave threw him from his board and plunged him into the churning whitewater. His lungs began to burn from the lack of oxygen, as he waited for the washing machine effect to slow enough to swim for the surface.

  45. Jimmy felt the joy start in his soul and burst through him like an exploding star: “Whoo-hoo!” He stretched his arms across the inside of the barrel and stood up in triumph: “Whoo … mhgurf!”

    He had stuck his head straight through the top of the wave.
