Within moments we all found ourselves neck deep—and deeper—in the river, being flushed down into the first rapid of the day.
Audio book: Whitewater: A Thriller by William McGinnis
The very boats which moments before had been our islands of safety by virtue of their remarkable buoyancy and stability, were now sinking webs of entanglement and sources of extreme danger. As our boats, now an amorphous mass of high-tech plastic fabric, jumbled bags and ice chests, and tangles of lines and hoopi, sank ever deeper, our crew of seven extricated ourselves and swam free.
Powerful, fast, frothy white and ice cold—the rapid was so long that it extended out of sight down around a broadband in the canyon. As I tumbled along underwater, I caught fleeting, submerged glimpses of other swimmers and sinking, deflating rafts. Surfacing, I gasped for air. Having no boat to swim to, and remembering my previous whitewater swimming lessons with Tripnee, I faced downstream, kept my toes up to prevent foot entrapment, used my feet to kick off rocks, held my breath in the wave crests and got air in the troughs.
At one point, down around the bend, the rapid grew quiet for a few moments, and something bumped me from behind.
WHITEWATER : A THRILLER ~ An Excerpt from the Book. by William McGinnis
Turning, I saw Ludimila, her eyes wide and dilated in panic and pain. Gasping, hyperventilating and overwhelmed, she had blood pouring from a nasty gash in her left shoulder. I was spun and pummeled as though in a washing machine. When I regained the surface, she was fifteen yards down stream, but—good girl!
As I looked beyond her, my heart leapt to see one of our boats, still inflated, maneuvering in and out of an eddy picking up swimmers at the base of the rapids! Many hands reach down and pull the lanky, blond instructor into the boat, his face red with blood, and at the same time, off to one side, Tripnee pulled herself up and in, jumping aboard like a fish. Made it hard to go to sleep. A book that feels like a river! The author masterfully manages to combine in a single book such diverse themes as beautiful descriptions of California nature, deep philosophical reasoning, practical observations about whitewater rafting and exciting thrills.
The book has it all.

Karn and Sam did a spectacular job guiding us off of, around and sometimes barely between the boulders in the river. Our meals were plentiful and scrumptious. A Thriller from Brian the morning before we floated and started reading it in camp. I stayed in Kernville an extra day and finished the book.
The book made the trip even more special. See ya next year.
