18 April 11 - 10cm over the Mukore Pumphouse Weir
Happy Independence Day Zimbabwe! Andy and I enjoyed the morning at the Mukore section, on low water. We tried a few new lines, or lines that had been tried in the past and were not in common use. Andy ran the left option in the Fluid Detox and then went back up part of the way and tried the Fluid Solo, running the Z-Rapid perfectly. His verdict: he loves them both.
With no driver we were unable to explore further afield, so we settled for an extended play session on the wave. Andy tried all three Fluid boats on the wave, ending with some lovely flat spins in the Nemesis.
I used the Nemesis both on the river run and on the wave. It was fine on the river, a little edgy but controllable at this level, and very loose on the wave, allowing for easy turns and a couple of cartwheels and blunts. I gave Andy a couple of moments of concern when I took my time to roll, even failing a few rolls, as I was still nursing my back and didn't want to overdo the hipsnap.
The road has been repaired in a few places, but is still slow going - it took us 90 minutes either way.
