Well, here I am at the top of a nice class IV rapid, one that beat me up pretty good just a few weeks ago when I swam the lower portion of it. I would show you the bruise, but this is a family publication...
Normally I make this nice class V move into the rapid to set me up, called a toilet bowl move for the way it swirls you around the rock and into the correct current, but for some reason I missed the move and sling shotted to the left about ten feet, putting me in a bad position.
I wish I could say I made a great turn and followed the pink path, but I slung so far out that I barely made the blue path...
