Labor Day FB9 trip report
| River: | French Broad |
| Skill: | Intermediate |
| Trip Date: | 09/02/2019 |
On Labor Day we had 8 people and 7 boats on our French Broad section 9 trip. It was a low water run around 1200 cfs and a good level for a pfd. My wife Theresa and I did our first run in a Tandem open canoe. I have done this trip many times before but this was my first in a Tandem canoe. My wife and I had a good run for our pfd. Our line at big pillow was less than ideal but it was a good first lap and we managed to stay in the boat. We had a good representation of paddlers from the very experienced to novice first timers. Everyone had a great day. There was only one swim that was within sight of the take out at Stackhouse. We started with 8 people and we finished with 8 people, so it was a success.
