Well, have I a story to tell. I ran Mather Gorge at 9.5 ft yesterday, which is a hair away from flood stage. The recent rains have swelled up the Potomac and it is looking ridiculous. There were 6 foot waves and whirlpools popping up all over the place. It was hard to keep the bow afloat on my Project 52, as the dynamics kept on sinking and pushing the boat around. On top of the obvious dangers, pieces of wood were all over the place. 20 ft trees being tossed down river at alarming rates. All in all, I’m happy no one in my group (myself included) took a swim. Here’s the gauge at little falls, hopefully I can get some pictures from my friends soon.
