Cossatot Maiden Voyage Video (2006)

[Lupe]

I have to admit, I LOVE the Cossatot Maiden Voyage. It's just such an awesome experience to have super talented boaters surrounding the newbies, showing the lines, setting safety. It's just an incredible day to be a part of.

So with the help of several friends (Arthur Bowie, Chester Robinson, Lance Jones and Bryan Signorelli), we managed to dig out a grainy but fun video of the year of MY maiden voyage on the Cossatot.

Video was filmed by Lance on his Pentax camera (video is a whole new ballgame these days). Arthur and Chester had managed to keep track of a copy of the file, and Bryan uploaded it for me.

By the way, your club President is in this video. Our Cossatot Maiden Voyage coordinator, the big man himself, Walter Felton is of course in this video (grainy or not...you won't miss Mr. Smooth Felton). That's Dale Barton I believe on safety there at cannonball rock at the Machine. And for those wondering about that poor gal who both flipped in the machine and then went down half of Whiplash upside down...she moved out of state and went on to become a class V boater.

Experienced boaters, newbie boaters...plan to come on out to enjoy an incredible event. If you are not ready to tackle the Tot, come on down and set yourself on the rocks to enjoy the show!

Enjoy!

Heather, that is Dale Barton on the rock with me in back of him providing him with some "back-up!" Good stuff and a fun way to spend the day!!!
