I had four people signed up for a nice calm weekened on the Ocoee: Martha, Jeff, myself, and Fred (who is more a force of nature on the Ocoee than anything else).
Jeff had run the Ocoee on multiple ocassions, so Martha was the only one on her PFD.
On Sat. we got a reasonably early start. For the first run down we had only one swim, and that only because I did something dumb and lead someone … astray at Gonzo. But we had a quick and easy rescue, and the rest of the run was uneventful. The second descent we trield slightly more difficult lines, and for the 3rd descent that day I wandered aimlessly downstream.
On Sun. Jeff and I manged to get in two runs before we both headed home.
Both days I think there were more private boaters on the water than rafts. The weather was great both days. Only one swim and very few rolls. I need to do this more.
