Like the New Year’s Day Paddle, the Day-After-Turkey Paddle is a bit of a tradition around here. It should be on Black Friday, but for me that didn’t work this year - the kids came over for turkey left-overs. Fortunately, Paul D. was doing a run at Tville on Saturday, so the Day-After-Turkey Paddle was saved.
We met at 11:00 at Tariffville Park to drop our boats and run the shuttle. We had 6 boat – 4 kayaks and 2 canoes. It was nice to have another open boater along, and I hadn’t paddled with Charlie for a while.

The day was sunny and warm, and the river was at a nice level - 1.6 feet, 560 cfs. It was a little boney below the put-in, but there was plenty of water at Cathy’s Wave and Brown's Ledge for some open-boat surfing. I ran the Bridge Abutment Rapid first and got some pictures of the rest of the group coming through.
As usual, I ran the rapids above the Playhole to the left. Below the Playhole are a couple of small ledges that I run to the left. I ran the upper ledge at Double Drop to the right, and had no problem with the ferry to the left to run the second drop. I caught the eddy, but skipped the surf in Typewriter.
