Empty boat, those NRS drifters ride high! Apparently, Josh in his Clacka made it through, but a fibreglass boat is much heavier!
Yeah, I don't think a weaker swimmer would have been able to swim out to the eddy and would have been in trouble!!
Not sure what the flow is and how that effects the size of the rapids.
I betcha there will be quite a few flipped boats after it opens!!
