Got caught in “never ending eddy”. The boat was just spinning around, no room to use the oars. I was jumping from tube to tube fending off the rock walls hoping that somehow / sometime would be traveling downstream again.

For the longest time, until my second trip down the canyon, I swore that left channel was at least a half mile long. That second trip, and all subsequent trips, I was able to climb up on the rock, just to get a good look to see what is actually there.

On my most recent trip, we did have a boat pin on the rock. That was an interesting day…

Glad you all came through safely, by design or luck.

Last year, Hazel told us that if we screwed up and went left, all we could do was pray. Kudos to Leif for keeping his head and making it through unscathed!
