David and his canoe running the Maryland chute (photo by SZap).
It was pretty low, about 2.9, making it pretty much perfect to introduce Pocket to this part of the Potomac.
She’s done a lot of flat water boating (she joined us in storming the castle a while back) and expressed an interest in getting more comfortable in rapids.
Sarah opted for her paddle board for this trip.
Fortunately, the electric pump she picked up a couple years ago continues to serve us well.
It would have been hot work to pump up both inflatables in the 90 degree heat.
Fortunately, the water was still cool and the sky a perfect blue!
Keen eyed observers will note that Sarah’s and Pocket’s runs are both the Virginia chute.
We pulled the boats over the rocks to paddle up to the gorge, came back down and they ran the Virginia chute an extra time before we headed back to the Maryland side for one more run (after a brief portage).
