Tarian's Travels!

White Water rafting?!?

We have experience true white water rafting which is pretty scary, falling off a cliff with 6 strangers....your life in each other's hands........but white water in a 10m cat is even more scary....my life in Stu's hands!!!!!!!

The picture looks like a nice big hole between the mainland & an island, the book show's its around 150m....we are just over 4m wide, so no probs Stu, don't worry about it I said - your boat handling skills are great.....well.....what can I say, Stu did an amazing job, however I was actually pooping myself, I even put on my life jacket and mitsi's....then went to help stu put his on....he screamed at me.....DONT TOUCH ME......clearly he was also pooping himself. Another "challenge" done....would we do it next time rather than go around the island, which would add around 1-2 hours? YES, I think we would, but lets hope the wind was like it was in the attached pics(in Le Grazie folder), rather than right behind us, causing the water to boil and throw Tarian around like a ping pong ball in a washing machine! What was amazing, the sea went from a boiling caldron of terror to a crystal blue mill pond in the space of 200m. Once inside the harbour it was a short distance around to meet our so called friend's who had decided not to tell us how bad it can be, as they didn't want us to have a sleepless night! Friend's indeed, as with hindsight and a sleepless night, we would maybe have chosen the longer way round. Once at anchor it was a lovely location, next to a monastery that played arvei maria on its bells at 06.45 the next morning!
