South Island Gallery / Whitewater / 2012-06 Kakapotahi flood   We went to the Kakapotahi as the Totara was still too low. It an awesome grade 4-4+ run as these flows, especially when chase-boating... Also photos from retrieving boats the next day.  Arthur and Andre at the Kakapotahi put-in    It had come up a bit, but everyone seemed keen to paddle    IMGP7778    Lake above the gorge--no problem with washed-out eddies!    Entrance to the gorge--compare with photo 10    Looking not-too-far down into the gorge (big hole where the rapid usually is though)    There isn't usually much of a creek here    Portage-track creek    Stu repairing his boat with the heat of the exhaust--we think it got wedged in a gap    Next day, entrance to the gorge    Arthur paddling Stu's boat to where the others had stashed their boats the previous day    Tie on a deck and push it down    2nd of 4 pins on the last few rapids    Another pin    Blue skies for the float down to the bridge   15 Images  |  Home  |  Generated by jAlbum 9 and based on Chamelion skin
