Albert Rafting Eagle River

Albert Rafting Eagle River

Albert seemed to pick up packrafting quickly. But a few minutes after I took this picture, he busted his paddle trying to get out of an eddy. It happened when we still had a couple of dangerous sweepers below us on the run. I used my raft to try to bumper-car him into the proper position in the river channel. That was an interesting experience. He averted near disaster a couple of times and came very close to dumping.
