    We came in pre season but they opened it up for us and we had the river primarily to ourselves.

    This was my very first rafting. The paradox is that I was in this place 5 years ago, but I could…read morenot get on the boat because of the weather. Exactly 5 years later, I come here, to the same place, with almost the same group of friends, and the next 6-7 hours pass incredibly. I want to mention one person without whom this trip would not have been so incredible - Sean. I know that everyone says this about their guide, but they just didn't raft with Sean. Then they wouldn't say that. I will not tell you how the briefing went, how we rode the bus, etc. Nothing was interesting about it (but the instruction is essential and clear). After getting into the boat and learning all the commands (it took about 5 minutes), we were immediately thrown onto the rapids of the 5th level. These were unforgettable emotions at the very beginning of our trip. I think this is what sparked us, and we wanted more "fire and flame." In general, we sailed the first part without losses. Then there was lunch. Very tasty! The steak and rice were free! The second part was more relaxed, except for a few thresholds. On one of them, we were thrown so hard that two people and a GUIDE!!!! flew out of the boat. The rescue mission was quite successful, and in a minute, everyone was already in the boat. In general, emotions overwhelm me so much that I was ready to repeat everything immediately the next day. Unfortunately, we had to drive back to Boston. But I promise we will come back to you next year. Sean, get ready. Next time we definitely need to turn the boat over. Our entire Russian team sends you huge greetings and thanks for the unforgettable emotions! Na Zdorovie!

I was only annoyed because I lost one of my Rainbows and subsequently walked around sans one shoe the rest of the day. Sigh. I liked his style of teaching, which was more of a "Let's try it and learn along the way" rather than "Practice this, practice that." In the shadow of Mt. Katahdin, we drifted down the Penobscot River on nothing more than a giant balloon. The trip started off with class 2 and 3 rapids on the lower portion of the Penobscot River. It was complete with a stop by a huge natural water slide and more rapids before lunch. There's a couple hours of drifting and really taking in the beauty of wild Maine (which was a welcome and green relief from concrete NYC), so if you know all of your raft-mates, it's slightly more pleasant. We played games and riddles for a large portion of the drifting time. Poor James got stuck with playing our games too. A BBQ lunch is provided by Penobscot Adventures and it included all-you-can-eat steak or chicken or veggie burgers, pasta salad, an AMAZING rice dish that I would gladly consume again, bread rolls, cookies, sugary lemonade, and of course, water. After lunch, we piled back onto the buses for the best part of the whitewater rafting trip - the class 5 rapids. With names like Turkey Shooter, the Exterminator, and the Cribworks, can you really go wrong? The class 5 rapids were infinitely more fun than class 3 and 4. From now on, it's 5 all the way, baby! I wonder if I can convince my friends to make this an annual trip....
