Great shots Mike M. You got some good ones of many in our group. I think it's a perfect record of the day !!!

  Very good day today. Looked like everyone was having a good time, and and having lots of fun. A few flips but no swims.

  See the List for all the names.

  We ran Marybeth on many of the harder lines, catching some good eddies and peeling out into good current. She jumped on some nice waves. Had a few good combat rolls along the way, one where she gave up a bit of skin... but still made the roll...... And she was still looking for more by the time we hit the takeout.
  I think she's ready !

  Mike Moyer deserves credit for some great pics as he moved on ahead to get a good spot to shoot from.. and a number of times he not only was out of his boat... but he was also setting in the water to get as close as possible to the action.

Thanks for a great Upper Lehigh trip and all your help Rick! It was a fun day and group of paddlers w/ lots of surfing, ferrying, and eddying. Good to paddle with everyone again!

Mike Moyer, thanks for crawling out on the rocks to get the great pics and action shots.  Saw you working with Ian on some playboat moves and he's a natural.

I have a feeling we may see Jill on a SUP in the near future! ;-)

Enjoyed hearing about Al's Staten Island paddle trip, what an accomplishment!

Here are more pics...
