On a sunny Tuesday morning our group of 16 kayakers and two large support rafts pushed off from Lee’s Ferry floating atop the green, cold waters of the Colorado. Luck was with us as both the green water and sunny weather were to be with us throughout most of the trip. About half of our group were first-timers to the Colorado. The history of boat design was well represented from Jim L. in a full- size Pirouette (he looked impressive catching big air in the large wave trains.), to Patti J. in her Jackson Fun (her smile muscles were aching at the end of each day). What you bring to paddle depends on the type of experience you want to have. Let’s just say that Patti got her share of roll practice and one could have water skied behind Jim.
