my new tandem partner!

Post by coloradopaddler »

I got my four year old daughter out on the animas last week in my caption. she had a blast. it was her first time paddling a canoe through whitewater. we caught a few waves and she just wanted more! hopefully she'll take over my boats when she is big enough. since i can't seem to get a pic in this message, (any help?), here is the link of us surfing sellie's wave. i never had a name for that wave but now it seems appropriate to name it after gisella.

Right click on the picture (on the Picassa web page) and "Copy Image Location".
Paste that URL into the CBoats Img link.

Caveat: Some of those image hosts don't like that type of linking and will deny access. (I put the top picture on my own site server.)

We'll see whether this sticks around...

Sweet shot! What part of the Animas is that? I'm going to be in the Silverton area next month.
