... swim, swim, swim again.
Well, swim twice. Or flop out of your boat while it slides off the riverbank with your Pelicase and a grands worth of cameras in it. And then miss your roll at Serpent's and swim properly....
Oh well, it could have been worse. Sue caught my approach to Serpent's on film, then shot 20 seconds of a riverside bush rather than my abysmal failure to stay in my boat (honestly; I'll show you the original film anytime you want to see it - oops, just deleted it!) Still, the rest of the guys did fine and we continued on down through JJs and Town Falls with no further dramas...

John powering up and away from the Serpent's Tail
Ce surfaces...
... and looks chuffed (having just dragged my boat into an eddy!)
Say "cheese!"
Say now't
Say "No - I only swam once!?!" 
Say "Phwoar! (it's the PJ's), but don't pull my finger!" And for videographic evidence that the entire weekend was not spent in tea rooms, gear shops, pubs and bars, then clicketyclick the link... http://s146.photobucket.com/albums/r271/heybaz/?action=view¤t=2008_11_21Dee.flv
And finally - what happened next? You wouldn't Adam 'n Eve it!(That is a paddler with his boat on his shoulder in the middle of the Dee)
Cheers to Nige and Bex, John and Lucy, Paul, Jo, Ce and Sue - a cracking weekend and eminently suitable early-doors warm-up for the AW mission next May.
