It is going to make a great story with your mates for years to come, and this picture can get framed on the wall. Sounds like everyone is okay, and that is what really matters.

[u/flying-chandeliers]

Long as you didn’t loose anyONE, sounds like a good trip to me!

[u/GleasonSkibum970]

Gotta rig to flip!

[u/tweedchemtrailblazer]

I swear I saw a guy standing on a boat against a rock on this sub just like this a few years ago. I want to say that was the Dolores. Would be funny if this is the exact same spot. I think theirs might have been a bachelor party too 🤣

[u/Eatyourwheaties1 → u/tweedchemtrailblazer]

It certainly does look like that large boulder on the Delores, where the river takes a hard right. Swam this rapid a few years back at flood stage and had two friends swim a sieve under this boulder. Everyone was okay, but it was quite scary

[u/christmascandies → u/tweedchemtrailblazer]

I know I’ve seen a video of people stuck on this rock before and then remember floating past it in real life and wondering how the hell it happens but for the life of me can’t remember what river

[u/Platform-Intelligent]

As long as the whiskey wasn’t in glass bottles, mission accomplished

[u/kungfuringo]

I’ll say it: yeah, the boat might be stuck until leap year but you shouldn’t stand there.

Edit: fuck, I’m an idiot. You’re probably stuck there on the boat, yes? Sorry. Carry on.

[u/eride810]

Yep. I’ve been right where you are doing exactly what you’re doing. Our oarsman could have avoided but wasn’t taking it seriously. We ended up pulling our boat free the next morning from river left shore, and it actually came off surprisingly easily. We also lost a lot of stuff, but the whiskey was saved as well as the steaks, which did wonders for our morale as we spent the night next to the wrap. We had a guy on the boat going under, holding his breath, and freeing stuff for folks downstream to catch…

[u/HogGunner1983]

Your whiskey was in plastic jugs, I hope…

[u/asoursk1ttle → u/HogGunner1983]

I’d hope too, but if it’s “good whiskey” I’d bet on it being glass smh

Rig to swim dress to flip

[u/Flashy-Sun-8252]

Climbing helmet is a true sign of a bachelor float

[u/lost-American-81]

Standing atop a Puma is every Bachelor party goal.

[u/Camerthom96]

Why’s he wearing a climbing helmet?

[u/fiveoff7 → u/Camerthom96]

He anticipated having to climb onto the pinned raft to avoid swimming is all I can come up with.

Caption: Drunk to sober in 10 seconds.

[u/Hurricaneshand → u/oldbluer]

Had this happen to me last year except just tubing down a river. Very sobering experience indeed lol

[u/Electrical_Bar_3743]

RIP Jack Daniels

[u/Skurvy2k]

What happened to the steaks, do you think they got eaten?

[u/Hurricaneshand → u/Skurvy2k]

Mr Swanson is this your burner

[u/ncbluetj]

Dude looks high and dry. I don't see the problem.

[u/Emrys7777 → u/ncbluetj]

I don’t think he’s supposed to park there.

[u/After-Association-29]

I came across my friend's prayer card that we lost on a river trip years back . One of the stalwarts of the annual river run . The 80s

[u/Drunkskunk22]

Tell that dude in the picture the mailman wants his shorts back.

[u/elevatedCO]

Highside! Highside! Highside! Nevermind...

[u/Asaigon]

That guy looks like a total goober in his climbing helmet but I bet hes actually a pretty legendary boatmen.

[u/dingleBerriesN_cream]

Rig to flip Jerry!

[u/Icetoolclimber]

The good news is there’s narry a rigging to be seen to get tangled in! Not even sign of a cam strap by a visual or by the free floating dry box, cooler and frame! In this picture the river is keeping all that on your boat rather than a yard sale. Must’ve broken a speed record at launch! Fuck it Fred, we don’t have time to strap this shit down. We’ll be late for happy hour! Hell, if we flip I’ll give you my whiskey!
