Whitewater

"It's just hit the two hundreds!"

Ok. That means the river is at the lowest point when we can actually go rafting Kaituna River and the 7m drop over Tutea Falls.

Great.

It'll just be more gnarly.

It's a grade five course which is pretty gnarly already.

Let's just put it this way.

You get wet.

But we said our Maori prayers, paid respect to the river and threw the Silver Fern into the water. It landed on the greenside which meant that luck was on our side and sure enough we didn't capsize after the falls.

Which the other boat did.

Then we got out of the boat and slid down some falls solo.

But this was but the start of a very big day.
