    It was flat water fabulous.

    There is no botanical category , just floral (flora).

    Although "Flora, fauna and other forms of life such as fungi are collectively referred to as biota. "
    They should have called it biota
    I'll have to look closer at the rules

    Looks like a great paddle - I hope it was a shuttled one way paddle

    Where'd you put in?

    Rotate your torso and theoretically your biceps won't be bulging.

    It was out and back, Cushwa Basin (Wmsport) to Dam 5 then back.

    Theoretically
    being the operative word in that sentence.

    that sounds like a story we need to hear.

    Is there much of a current up there?

    Maybe that will be in Zen's autobiography.

    Not much to speak of. Not really hard to paddle against unless the wind kicks up.
    The return trip was much faster, though.

    There will be better stories than this one in my autobiography

    You've seen my biceps & lack of arm muscles - putting rotation in does relieve the arms.

    I'm also capable of riding a bike with no defined leg muscles.

    I tend to wobble when i use the rotation method.

    At least I know now that knees go under the little pads on the side.

    Practice this Friday , 10 AM, come on!
