Today I visited the National Whitewater Center in Charlotte. This center has multiple options for sports but I focused on TWO that are very unique to this center, whitewater rafting and the adventure courses. I started out the day hitting the class 3 and 4 rapids in the whitewater course. My major goal today was to STAY IN THE BOAT and that I did. Last time I visited, I fell out because I didn't have my foot secured in place in the boat. I did however, kind of help the guy beside me fall in after we came through one of the class 4 rapids. As we tipped to one side, I shifted almost on top of him and felt both of us being sucked out of the boat. I stayed in somehow but he ended up going out, which from what I remember last time, is a shock at first and then is fun once you realize you are safe. We picked him up and successfully made it through the second time. I have never been on a real whitewater rafting trip but this apparently is very close and is a great place to start if you have never been rafting. If you have been rafting, tell your raft guide that you want an adventure!
