It was great for him because it was the first day on the river that he was his ‘own man’ and could go wherever he wanted.  He had been that way on the lake for a couple weeks, but moving water as we all know is diffenent.  The way he was catching eddys and especially pivoting around rocks on a pretty busy class II+ run really blew me away.  I guess all that time paddling with me in my boat and behind me tethered together did really make a difference.
