Paddled the Ocoee on my birthday--with Janet, Scott, Amy, and Kevin. The weather was beautiful and the water warm.

At the hole river left of Whirlybird we were joined by Amy who was with us until Goforth.  Here is Amy going for the slot move at Gonzo Shoals

Broken Nose: In Eddy 1 I had one of the highlights of my day: Jodi K. singing "Happy Birthday" to me.  Thanks, Jodi!

At Broke Nose I caught Eddy 3 for the first time.  I followed Janet's lead on the ferry from Eddy 2 to 3.  Thanks Janet!  

I didn't want to surf the wave to ferry from Eddy 3 to 4.  So I ferry onto the pile of the wave and drifted down backwards.  I then tried to catch Eddy 5 but slammed into the guard rock.

At this point I was committed to running the first ledge of Broken Nose backwards.  I stayed upright and then spun the boat on the rooster tail for the second ledge, running it clean!
