Retro Chronicles: Liz, Adam and I rafted and survived.

Although Simon and I aren't yet on the high seas, we are having some adventures in London which still need chronicling. In fact, we are taking an impromptu trip out to Suffolk this weekend to see a used Nauticat for sale named... the Polar Bear II! I'm working on those posts over tea and will update soon. In the meantime, I will entertain and amuse you all with YouTube clips from when Liz, Adam and I went whitewater rafting on the Illinois River in Oregon in May 2007.

This first video is of one of our guides, Kaitlyn, scouting Green Wall rapid, the most difficult of the rapids that trip. We ran it successfully a few minutes after her and Liz didn't even fall in. Way to stay in the boat Liz!



This second video is what happens when 30 year old men relive their glory days as 13 year olds, also known as atomizing grease to create a fire ball. I can't say much, though, since I was right there laughing and commenting, "That's awesome." Fortunately, no one lost any eyebrows... probably due to the tin foil armor. We like to be prepared.



PS - Horsing around in the woods rules!
