OUTLAW EAGLE MANUFACTURING

[D525]

Step 1. Speed home after work and hitch up boat
2. Fill boat with a barrel of petrol
3. Slide it into the Devon launch (which despite super low water levels was probably better then normal) @ 7:00pm
4. Load necessary supplies (cooler,cups,etc.)
5. Load a few friends new to the river running thing
6. Cruise and discover that river levels are worse then at the end of last October
7. Try to maintain adequate speed over three to four mile super shallow water sections (with can openers)
8. Stop and talk with kayak man after he waves me down "I wouldn't go any futher if I was you, that's a big boat!"
Step 9. Chuckle to my self, smile to my mates, and hammer down.
10. Back off throttle to avoid collision with ERC (Edmonton rowing club) and smoke huge rock- luckily only a smooth deflection.
11. Arrive @ 50st boat launch, realize it's 8:30pm and sun is gone.
12. Stop and think about rocks, gravel bars, and other misc. Near misses on previos leg... Thinking
13. Tell passengers that everything ok, we be sailing in an eagle
