Time for Whitewater...

Wow.
Ultimate Maine had a seriously impressive day of learning the whitewater ropes today! As part of a 3 day series of whitewater kayaking, the group headed to Lake Millinocket for some training! After gearing up (wetsuits, lifejackets, windbreakers, booties, helmets, paddles and boats!), the group learned to wet exit first thing! They were thrilled with the rush of being upside down in the water!



After lunch, more lessons on paddle strokes, drills on boat stability and they've all got their eskimo rescue down! It was a long and chilly end to the day, but everyone is excited to hit the rapids tomorrow with new-found expertise!
