Giving mom a ride on the Big Eddy run!
Her first canoe trip.
She took one look at the Big Eddy shoal and said: " That looks like a lot of current! I thought you said this was going to be an easy day on a nice little river… " I replied: " It's gonna be an easy day. You won't even have to paddle… Just keep your hips loose and keep your hands off of the gunnels"
I gently talked her down the river. Aside from the two close encounters in the vid, it really was a nice easy day.

Great river to have a first trip on! Looks like she had fun.

Styling it in a tandem. Always fun on the Mulberry.
Great video, didn't even know that you were recording.

I say, and I intend it emphatically, let the river be.

Dang, I think I've got something in my eyes. Must be dusty in here. Great job taking your mom down the river, Tom, and she did a great job too. She leaned with her head inside the gunwales and I didn't see one gunwale grab. Way to go guys!
You come too.
