June 30th- July 1st


This time local knowledge and a helping hand from Abegglen and his wife Linda is actually the winning ticket. Abegglen gave us some amazing river maps and tips for the next 20 km stretch. More wiers and more portages. Wier number four was something you see in the Deliverance movie, you go over that and you will be squeeling like a pig. This time its a in water portage around the edge of the raging river. More scrapes and bruises but we survive and its time to soak up the beauty of the Rhine River. The white water was more than we had expected but we have all our limbs and its time to head to Lake Constance.

Like a breath of fresh air the lake is tranquil and breath taking. The water is warm and clear and we soak up the jewel of Switzerland.

  2. Right. I'm ditching my Andy McNab collection in the bin. You guys stories are much more interesting. Glad you're all still alive.

    May the flow be with you.
