Excellent shots. What was the level?
My only Lower Keeney run was closer to the first sequence.

Wow!

Nice job!
Excellent photos & commentary.



Some excellent boaters; especially when you consider the speed & power of that section of water.

Thanks… that was very cool of you to share…

#11

Great Job Mike
I saw your post on RS too. Awesome shots and great commentary. Although I’ve run Lower Kenney 100+ times in a yak (back in the day), I only tried it 3 times in a solo canoe. Got lucky and made it twice without a swim. The folks in the pics obviously have some single blade skills.



Were the pics taken from the eddy below Meat Grinder or from up on the rocks using telephoto?



Are the pics/commentary for a presentation?

Good entry for contest next year
Hi Mike, these sequences will make a really good entry in the Coastals photo/video contest next year. You get my vote for first place!

Thanks for posting them here on p.net

Thanks Mike
Such nice photography … I really like the commentary. Now, I’m just hoping you’ll give us the answers to the questions you asked in the Alicia commentary.



Quality like this makes daily visits to p.net worthwhile. Do more!

Excellent!
Wow, I finally took a look at this. Those are some darned good boaters! I liked the explanations of what was going on too. I take it that near the end of the first sequence, where the guy started to tip toward the upstream side, that the average current was faster than the downstream progression of the boat, based on your comments about bracing on the upstream side being ineffective. That’s the sort of thing I’d never have known just by looking at the photos. In that instance and several others, your comments really help the viewer to understand what’s happening. In short, each of these sequences was much more enjoyable for me than a video would have been (where the overall view would degrade to nothing more than a bobbing boat bouncing through the foam). Thanks!
