A huge rainstorm hit the mountains last week and flooded all the rivers- to the point where many of them were raging torrents. Going from their usual 50-80 cubic meters per second to as much as 2000 cubic meters per second. It's hard to imagine! One river, however, which is usually too low to kayak, was raised from it's usual 15 cubic meters per second to 20 cubic meters per second- making it perfect for kayaking. Another hot sunny day! The weather has just been remarkable.
LOOKING Great Cath!!! How beautiful is this for kayaking!!! Love IT!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd I of course Love YOU!!!!!
Yes, New Zealand is quite perfect for it. I think I prefer canoeing though- because kayaking can be a bit too intense sometimes. This trip was excellent, but sometimes when the river we are running is high and pushy and fast, I get quite scared. All the rivers on the South Island are whitewater rivers though so one must make the most of it!
