Got the Packrafts back out

Sarah and I took out the Packrafts again.

The river was a bit lower than last time, about 3.2. So we headed up the Maryland chute (through the Calleva paddleboard class), played around a bit, and then popped out and over the rocks there.

It’s very handy to have a watercraft that crazy light :)

We paddled up a bit further then headed down the Virginia chute. The photo on the right is a little eddy above the center chute.

After playing around a bit in the Virginia chute we headed back to the Maryland chute for a few minutes before heading back home.

These packrafts remain a really fun watercraft. I need to work a bit more on my roll — I did test it out and came up, but only because I pushed off the bottom.
