Jui-sui Favorites

Favorite thing: Well... I guess we didn't win... (or maybe we did, I had a few too many beers by the time the finish line was breached...)

My team did give me the time-honoured ceremonious dunking of the Captain, though... (as token of their respect, or so they told me...)

Favorite thing: Here is one of the many whirlpools along the way. These would invariably suck in one boat, then another, then another, until they were stack up one on top of the other... (OK, well, lets just say that the competiion wasn't all that stiff...)

Favorite thing: Also, must remember not to take any pictures of Doug... He will invariably drop his oar and start waiving at the camera with a dumb smile on his face, which of course will invariably send the boat careening into the big boulders once again....

Favorite thing: The key to making this a fun trip is whether there is enough water in the river for the rapids to be flowing... Conditions were not bad on this day, though I expect next weekend will be ripping... (A big typhoon is now pounding Taiwan with sheets of rain, so I may just have to drive back down to Juisui next weekend, too...)y

Favorite thing: IF you want to keep you head in one piece it is probably best NOT to take picture when riding thru the rapids...

I failed to remember this time and again and invariable kept getting slammed into big boulders for my troubles...

Favorite thing: ... and well after that, I suppose I had to get a couple guys that could row the boat... These two dorky looking foreign guys with the funny looking blue hats would probably have to do, I suppose... (Nobody else wanted them anyway....)

Favorite thing: Finally, the commemorative group photo... (minus the captain,who was still floating downstream in the river somewhere...)

It is indeed lonely at the top....

Favorite thing: Its neck and neck at the finish line, and the winner is...
