There was also another probably more important issue that led to that decision.

Per my recollection of the book, it was the timing of when they would run into the rapids where they eventually swamped the boat.

It was a stretch they had expected would be the crux of the trip.

As you pointed out, Kitten and his team were tenured river rats who knew all the river like the back of their hand.

However, the unique dynamics of the unprecedented CFS meant that they were uncertain of exactly how fast they would be moving.

By starting when they did, they were able to more or less ensure that section of the river where they flipped would be squarely in the middle of the day.

A good worst-case scenario and good pre-planning.

And that's from Noah.

That sounds like a very reasonable assertion.

Yeah.

Thanks a lot, Noah.

I'm not going to challenge him on it.

Heck no.

Yeah.

Okay.

Well, if you want to be like Noah and be like, hey, I got you guys.

You have a question, I'm a Noah.

Then get in touch with us.

Do it like Noah did.
