we had 17 people in 16 boats for the 16th Annual Hypothermia Challenge run on Chattooga 3 1/2 (Thrift's to Woodall).
 
there was about equal representation from the CCC and FPC, and we all enjoyed a partly cloudy and coolish day at a nice level of 1.58.  It was a strong group, and other than one minor incident at The Bull there was no carnage to report.
 
Apres paddling, we descended on Humble Pie to fuel our mighty engines and regale each other with river lies, I mean stories.  There was an unusually spirited rendition of "Happy Birthday" for yours truly, who had turned 66 the day before. 
 
As trip leader, I would like to thank everyone who participated for excellent support and cooperation, making my task much easier. A good time was had by all, and we look forward to running this trip again next year!
