How Deep is the Water? Do We Go in a Circle? Top Overly Asked Questions Whitewater Guide Answers
Q: How deep is the water? A: "Chest high to a duck," I say or "Just above the fishes heads." Seriously I have no idea how deep the water is and most likely I'll just look down a the river bottom like you and take a guess. Sometimes it's shallow, other times deep but then again it could be in between. Since this river wasn't built by Wal-Mart I don't know how deep the standard depth is but before I chastise you too much know that I've asked that question myself after using all my keen observational skills.
Q: Do we end up where we started? A: "Yes when we are done we turn around and paddle back upstream," or "Actually the river is in a circle so as long as we don't miss this spot as we go by we will only do it once." I don't know how rafters went to school but I did and for some reason I never learned that rivers went in circles. They go North and South, East and West but in circles? The funny thing is that I hear there is a river in Australia that does- no really for real trust me.
Q: Are we on a track? "Yes from the moment we started we have been on a deep water track which is why I'm yelling at you right now because you can't paddle." Unless you're Pamela Anderson filming a scene for Baywatch rafts don't run on tracks and use the power of you to get it down the river. This is why guides stress paddling together so much. Without you we would get wet and possibly go swimming, which is on the bottom of our list.
Q: Who turns on the water in the morning? Do they use a hose? "Actually all the guides get together and pee at six a.m. that way we can talk about the day and decide just how much water the river will have." This question comes up mostly when the river is controlled by a dam. The water will lower to fish-flow during the night and then ramp back up in the morning. Most of the time it's really a crazy system that the power companies use and has no real rhyme to their reason so don't think about it too hard. If there is enough water you will go rafting otherwise forget it.
Q: Why do guides make fun of us? A: "Because we have nothing better to do and most likely all asked the same questions ourselves but of course can't admit that."
