Sydney's last blog- The Rouge

Hey, it's Sydney again ! This will unfortunately be my last blog.
This past Wednesday all of the Keeners went to The Rouge river in Quebec. We put in below the first sister and had the option to run any of the last six. I didn't run the second one because while I was watching some guys run it, I noticed they were having a hard time with how strong the current was. One of them even put a huge dent in the front of their boat ! I decided that it would probably be better if I didn't run that one because if the guys were having trouble with how strong the current was, that I probably would too. I put in just below that one and ran the third sister, it went great ! The fourth sister was a decent sized waterfall. When I hit the bottom of the drop my paddle got pulled out of my hands and I had to hand roll up. The fifth sister went over fine but it fed into the sixth one which I didn't have such great luck on. The sixth sister was more of a pour over and I got stuck in it, while I was stuck my skirt imploded and I fell out of my boat. After that I got pushed to the bottom of the river and hit the river bed, then I came back up but was pushed under right away again. I came up to the top again and Tyler threw me a rope and pulled me out right before I was pulled under again. It took awhile for my boat to come out but when it did my friends emptied it for me. It took me a few minutes to get over it but then I found myself laughing about it. Then everyone went to run the seventh sister. Overall, it was a great day filled with lots of fun and great friends !
Sadly, this is my last day here and I am leaving tomorrow, Thanks for reading my blogs ! (:
