I know that fear of being sucked under the rapids. I went on a rapid trip with some friends in college. Needless to say, I have no upper body strength and when my paddle got stuck between some rocks I thought I could unwedge it by pulling. Big mistake, the suction from us surfing the rapid took me out of the boat and under. All along I held on to the dang paddle instead of letting go. Luckily my friend Cory saw I wasn't in the raft and broke the surf... he pulled me up onto the raft.
Scary stuff! I'm glad you all are OK!! |
