a little river time…
Uncle Hank brought his inflatable ducky to lock 6 and we all paddled around the gates for a little while: Hank and I in kayaks, Sarah and Robert in the ducky. Then Hank and I ran little falls while Sarah and Robert puttered around in the feeder canal.
The interesting part of the trip was the guys in the open canoe who had heard little falls was not that hard. They avoided being clotheslined by the log across the Z canal, but they flipped in the bottom drop there. We explained, again, that the Z canal was just the beginning and they realized they were in over their heads, so to speak. The good news: no injuries and their canoe was not wrapped around any rocks. They turned around at that point, which was a wise move. Perhaps with more practice and more appropriate gear, they would have a good time on that stretch.
