Battenkill River float - two sisters and a niece

Fun time after the wedding saw Cheryl, Sandra and Sarah, our niece, take a float down the Battenkill River. Rodney elected to stay on dry land and record the event for posterity, though the camera battery died half way through!

For my part, I didn't realise that floating involved getting wet. I imagined that the tubes had a bottom - well they did but it was mesh, so rear ends did get wet. Cheryl went for total immersion when she didn't quite make it beneath an overhanging branch.

As the surge in river level had subsided, the water level was perfect for floating - we didn't have to get out once to get overselves over sandbanks. Though we did get becalmed in whirlpools a couple of times.
