Aqua Blaze!

Aqua blazing was awesome! We set out on the water at about 9 to do 16 miles on the james river. We wanted to do 26 but the guy running the rental wasn't comfortable with that. After we had gone about a mile we were playing around splashing eachother when gravity paddled close to flip me. I avoided it but he ended up flipping himself. It would have been fine but he had just taken his digital camera out. And cameras don't float... his camera is waterproof so we knew it would still work but it was under waist deep water with a strongish current. He hadn't backed up any of his videos and only some of his pictures. So pretty much his whole trip was on there. We spent over and hour paddling up and down looking for it. We ever got out and walked up and down the river. We gave up and decided it was a lost cause and started to head out. Everyone was in poor spirits, especially gravity. It went from and awesome day to an awful day. Then right as we were leaving the other girl that was with just found the camera! We were all in out boats leaving when she found it. It was a miracle! The day instantly got better.
From then on we had a blast. There were alot of class two rapids and one class three. They were all pretty exciting but the class three was the best. We all made it through without tipping except one of the guys with us named shotgun. He tried twice and tipped both times. All the pictures are of us going down the class three.
When we were done we all agreed that we could have done the 26 miles. The 16 were easy and we took our time going down the river. We are pretty sure that we are in alot better shape then we think we are. Even tho we spend all our time building our lower body, our core is really strong and you use that alot in kayaking. We are gonna try to do it again if it works out. Hopefully :)
