Maiden Voyage

We finally got our new (to us) rubber onto the water last Friday. Gavin hung out with his babysitter while Brandon and I took 'Stella' for her inaugural float down the Oneida Narrows. She (and we) did beautifully and we are super stoked. I left our camera at the take-out but we finally got it back on Sunday, a little over a week after we lost it, thanks to the honesty and downright neighborliness of the couple who found it.

Prepping, the eve of the launch. At the put-in. An obligatory river-view brew. Pretty green stuff. Canyon overview.
