By the sound of it Karl, they might have!!
I have heard rumours about boating the dirty water, and we still aren't quite over the shallows of the Rangi from last trip at 55 cumecs - when it was so clear you could see it coming and have warning and still end up on the floor..... .....but, as the saying goes, A BAD BOATING BEATS A GOOD DAY OF.....OF.....OF.....um, well ANYTHING, actually!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yep,many thanks for posting that video.......was planting gardens and doing a couple of boat jobs after making the call not to go due to a lack of experience and wanting a good couple of runs after some pushing up there with low flows.
Yet I looked up your way many times thinkin bugger, it's a cloudless day    and we learnt last time a good day pushing beats a good day........................................................................................(it starts with a W)
