Russ, Willie, Everett, Eric, Mel, Pearton, Mike, and myself. The run started out good with the canyon section. It was my first run in the Corsica and I blew the footpegs off the rails within the first few hundred yards. I made it through the canyon locked in by my thighs and then wedged the float bags in the front to provide some support. I decided not to run Roostertail given my boat situation and Eric and Mel decided to portage as well. All came through ugly, but fine until Russ who took a nasty spill and bounced through the drop upside down. He pulled out with a shoulder injury. The rest of the run was fun and largely uneventful.
