Great job finding your rod. White water rafter do what they call a "high side" when the get side ways on an obsticle. You actually lean toward the obsticle to lift the upcurrent ideof the raft o the currnt pssesonder and not over the boat. There used to be, or may be still is, a black boom just west of the railroad track bridge. When I worked at the hatchery some knuckle head tried to walk across the boom during an ebbing outgoing spring tide. He slipped, hit the water, and started heading toward the power plant water intakes. Cold ass rainy winter day and myself and a coworker stripped down, swam across the lagoon, dragged hs scared panicy ass up on one of the mussle floats,and waited for the life guards. Mike
