Details to follow once registration closes.  We will meet at the take out in Monroe first. 

On this outing we will paddle a slow moving river, gaining more skill in handling packrafts in a variety of venues.  We will practice swimming skills such as the safety position and back-ferrying, and swimming at a ferry angle across a class I current, throwing a rope to a swimmer, and catching a rope in the water for rescue.
