Last year I had a pair of inexpensive aqua stealth with no studs boots
for the boat. They were ridiculous on the Madison. I should have
known because it's tough enough there with the swift water and round
rocks. Now I have a big piece of carpet for the bottom of my raft, a
trick I got from Warren.

The Madison is like golf for me. 90% of the time I feel like an idiot.
Except last year the numbers were reversed for a few days and that's
never happened to me on a golf course. (G) bruce h
