The Sjoa Expedition Journal - Still Raining
Thursday, 15 July 2010
Woke to a grey and gloomy day. The river was high, we stopped at the kayak camp to register for our event, the Sweet Rumble prelims.
We continued to the Heidal Raftings’ Wilderness Camp. Rob and I napped. We arrived at the Sjoa Kajakk Camp, got the brief for the prelims race, scouted the course swiftly. Rob and I looked at each other and decided to go for it. Walking to the put it we could see a handful of boaters starting to dissect the course and choose their lines. Rob and I represented South Africa at the event and in proper African style I had Rob howling for me as I left the starting block.
The rain fell throughout the event and we returned to our camp to dry out all our wet gear and warm our bodies.
