This
isn't the point where I fell out of the raft. Yes, I
was the only one to fall out in 3 days of rafting, right
in the middle of some rapids. Remembering the training
I did my best to keep my feet pointed downstream as
I was swept through rapids, feet smacking rocks. They
fished me out in less than a minute and Bethany rescued
my paddle which I held onto intially while shooting
through the rapids. Later on during the lunch break
we saw the river is populated with Machakas, relatives
of Pirhanas!
