CATS White Water Rafting Trip

An hour later came our second test of rafting, the Wall (with three holes/whirlpools). Our guides took us on shore to see the Wall from a height. He explained in great detail what we should expect at each hole. Seeing the water frothing white at the Wall, with the memory of the flip at the Daniel still fresh in everyone’s mind, 8 CATS opted to walk along the shore to the other side of the Wall whilst 14 brave ones decided to take the plunge, albeit gingerly. Myself and CAT Aditi were the only Daniel flipped CATS who decided to take on the Wall.

Ours was once again the first raft to pedal towards the grade 4 Raffid called the Wall, much against our protests! Pensively but with determination we crossed the first hole, skimmed over the second hole but the third hole proved to be too mighty for us once again. CAT Vasu had reached the surface but CAT Priyanka pulled him down in panic. I witnessed this drama since I was swimming below Vasu. However, in comparison to the Daniel allotted lower grading of Raffid 3+, Wall at Raffid 4 was a cake walk, or shall I say a CAT WALK.
