day one drizzled all day. we did a warm up river for Astraea. middle Mataks. i biked the shuttle. no problems apart from Astraea had a freak-out but we got through it.
day two rafted down O sullies and milked it. everyone had a guide and all improved allot. I guided whale creek and jet boat. was supper stoked with my line on jet boat. In the afternoon had a look at Maruia but didn't run it.
day three did double run on Granite. first run we all had a go apart from Granite rapid. Harvey ran first and did all good. then we worked the raft back up and I had a go guiding. I had a sweet line. Then on the second run we kayaked it. Just Harvey Dan and I went Astraea ran shuttle. We went down truck and trailer. Harvey then me then Dan. Harvey misted his line a little and got worked at the bottom of the buffer and the again in the next hole, came out fine. I got my line perfect soooo stoked with it. Dan got his line but nose dived in to the eddy behind the buffer rock and got spat back out, got a bit of a working then rolled and got in to the eddy. We were all peeking. perfect level for us. great trip. Then the boys were feeling brave so we went to do Maruia ( not me though) got there and Dan did it. Harvey said he was going to but bailed. still what a day.
not over yet. I'm off to go climbing at the local climbing gym in Greymouth.
life is good!
