Show 5304 Chaffin- D 3315 Q How much water did your boat draw? A Didn't draw but very little water; I wouldn't say over six inches of water, maybe about eight inches, when we first started with our load. Q Between Greenriver, Utah, and the mouth of the San Rafael, did you encounter any difficulties of any kind? A Not a bit between Greenriver and the mouth of the San Rafael, only a little rough water. We ran right down there, without any trouble at all. Q From the mount of the San Rafael down to the cataracts, tell me about your trip. A After we left the San Rafael, from there down through we had a lot of trouble finding a channel to get through the mud and stuff. Seemed to be no place to go. Seemed like the water was shallow. The river spread out. And we had and pulling our boats over a place. Maybe we could have looked around and found a channel. We would come to a place and get out and pull them over. If we got in the wrong place and found we couldn't, we backed up and found somewheres we could. We got down, all right, but the river was pretty shallow Q Getting hung up on sandbars, did that occur frequently |
