Kayakers, Twenty-one days down the Grand Canyon, September 16 through October 6, 2010, 226 miles, Lee's Ferry to Diamond Creek, 8,000 CFS, non-commercial permit trip, 16 people, 6 rafts, 6 kayaks. I had never kayaked in whitewater before, used a Greenland paddle, and did only two portages (Horn Creek and Lava Falls) and had zero swims. The Greenland paddle and techniques worked great in the rapids. I can't remember how many years I've had my Pentax Optio W10, but it survived the Grand Canyon in my right front PFD pocket.
