Yes, I'm very excited! I have kind of a phobia of tipping boats, so the canoeing is teaching me to balance, and to not freak out if things wobble...because canoes definitely wobble. Not to mention working the paddling arms and the core to keep me balanced! So I'm a rafter-in-training :-)

the wobble of a raft is nothing close to the wobble of a canoe, that's for sure. One more quick byte of info- Try out every "seat" on the raft to find out which side you are the most stable and comfortable on as some people feel more comfortable on one as opposed to the other. When I go out I prefer the last spot on the right side in front of the guide. Perhaps that's just superstition as I've never been tossed from that spot. Go know...

This is making me absolutely itching to get out there!
