Whoever posted the captions for this video nailed it in terms of what the boaters did right and wrong in running Blossom Bar. I would add that the second boat might have avoided a flip if they would have tried to high side on the right tube. Also once in the water they should have assumed the river position - there is a lot of nasty stuff below the surface there just waiting to entrap you.
Just hug the horn rock at the entry (unlike the cat in the video) & you'll be fine. Once you catch the eddy stay left in the slot & start working your way left to avoid the stuff the cat crashed into.
We came through 9/3 & saw the boat. Sorry for your loss.
Wow. GordyMariFilms, I'm sorry for your loss. Can you tell me if he was wearing a pfd? Any other info to share? I'm running this river in a few weeks.

my friend Bob lost his life there yesterday. That river is nothing to play with.
