Yes we finally stepped out of the little plastic boats and jumped head first into a giant rubber raft! Dru and Kaylin had some family in town for the weekend, great people by the way, and they wanted to raft. We figured what the hell and I'm glad we did, what a blast!
In the morning we got in a half run in the kayaks with Julie, Dru, John, and myself then we headed to the rafts. Side note... In kayaks, Team Blue dominated and pulled the only aerial move of the day. Your my boy blue!
Off to the rafts... We got our safety talk then were hand picked by the safety leader, a.k.a Yoda, and we were on the way. I think Yoda took one look at our gear and knew he would have an easier day with us then with the kids and newbies. Either way Yoda did a great job and we got in some great surfs and swims!
And yes someone did fall out, me! I got it good and was flung from the boat. Julie had a great bow cowboys ride down double trouble and I got in a good standing ride at hell hole. Monte and John were a ball and a ton of fun in the raft. We hope to paddle with them again, real soon!
After the rafting Dru and I headed to hell hole for some little plastic boat action. Got in some great rides and all-in-all had a great day.
By the way, I am hear to announce that the food at the Ocoee is the best around. Try both the Gondolier and the Ocoee Deli. The Deli shows carnage videos while serving the best sandwiches I have ever had and the Gondolier has some really good Italian dishes. Man we love it out here!
