Out of the boots and into the raft

Back in cellphone coverage now and we're happy to be off our feet and rafting down the Rangitata on what is almost our final leg. We had an awesome time churning through the Rangitata Gorge but got held up yesterday afternoon by a strong wind blowing up the valley making rafting impossible.

We're hoping to raft for a marathon 14 hours today and make up the lost time so we can finish up in the early evening tomorrow. We're expecting to be able to send pictures once we get into better coverage - for now, here's the mighty Rangitata, with yellow pointers marking Kelman Hut and Mt Cook in the background.
