Day 11 October 27th 2011 - Upper seti run again

Location: Tibetan Pema Restaurant, Pokhara.
I sit after paddling 6 consecutive days, just did another upper seti run day trip with some U.K. paddlers and there was carnage. I bombed down safety boating with the raft contingent with them losing a punter and then ending up side surfing a hole for a few minutes. The raft managed to get stuck twice as well. The kayakers group was ok, except one guy managed to nail his elbow on an over hanging rock and has probably ended his Nepal kayaking trip.

I was still pretty tired after the kali, but managed to roll myself out a hole after missing my boof stroke. I feel more in control now of the kayak just need to push myself a bit more and nail the more difficult lines.
Anyway so I won't be posting for a while as I'm off to do a Madi Khola run grade 4/4+ technical river with some german paddlers I met David and Florian. Should be good, then off to do Marsyandi river Grade 4/5 for two days afterward. So I might be back in 5/6 days time to update. Hopefully I'll live, but if I don't all the best!
