Here's another short film that I put together from the footage I shot in the Grand Canyon. What we have here is Day 13, when we woke up to find the Colorado River running a dark grey color. My best guess is that there was some flash flooding upriver from a tributary that flows from the burn area of the Dragon Bravo fire.
Other than that, we were in a leisurely mood on Day 13. The biggest whitewater was behind us, and we were beginning to sense that the finish line was drawing near. That didn't mean our work was finished, however: hotter weather generated a pesky afternoon headwind that made our downriver progress feel like a slog. But it's easy to forget all that now as I sit here and behold the beautiful landscapes we paddled by. Certainly the music ("West of Samoa" by Speedy West) suggests a leisurely mood.
