Since an 80 yo man died a few days before we departed, it was a good thing I did not know this. We found it a VERY different adventure. We travelled nearly 200 miles in 8 days, through nearly 100 rapids and were helicoptered out to a ranch and then took a small plane for about an hour back to Marble Canyon from where we began.
Care had to be taken and it was necessary to put still cameras back into waterproof bags on just about all rapids many of which submerged our 35 foot raft entirely while some large waves submerged us more than once in the same rapid.
I have looked at just a few images (Day 2 so far), but soon realized they do not impart the beautiful magnitude of what we saw.
Attached are just a few so far. Leica SL3 + Panasonic 28-200. This is the camera I submerged two times on one raft departure. Dried it and cleaned it and it is still going strong today.
