The Ultimate Escape From Everyday Reality is a Grand Canyon River Rafting Adventure

Saturday 24 September 2011 @ 11:35 am

While some people envision going away to a secluded tropical isle somewhere to escape from reality, and others can get lost in a good book or even a movie theater – there are still others who are seeking real thrills amidst the calm of their escape. What can “fit the bill” better than a Grand Canyon River Rafting adventure?

Picture yourself out in the Grand Canyon. The scenery alone is enough to keep you awed and inspired for a lifetime. Unless or until you have experienced the sheer size and magnificence of this seventh natural wonder of the world, you cannot even imagine what you’ve been missing. As you step up to the rim and look over the edge, all you’ll be able to say is “wow!” It is so amazing that it doesn’t even look real.

There are many ways to experience the Grand Canyon. Every year there are millions of people who do little more that look out over the rim from multiple locations. Some will even gaze onto the bottom from the amazing skywalk that juts out more than 70 feet over the west rim and dangles 4,000 feet above the river. Those brave enough to walk out will be walking on glass floors so there is nothing to obscure the view, a thrilling but scary walk for many.
Still others will want to actually get down into the canyon. There are mule rides from the rim to the bottom of the canyon – expensive and not very comfortable, but at least less work for the riders than the mules on a hot summer day. These trips will get a tourist into the canyon, and back to the rim though, so it is one possible way to travel and take in the scenery.

Hikers into and out of the canyon must be very physically fit to even attempt such a journey, especially during the hot summer months when temperatures at the bottom of the canyon frequently top 100 degrees. While most people cannot even imagine such a trek, it is done all the time, and there are even a few rough trails to prevent visitors from getting lost on the way down or back up. It’s important to keep in mind that these hikers must descend between 4,500 and 6,000 feet to reach the river, depending on which trail is selected. Most hikers can get down to the river in 3-5 hours, but hiking back out takes considerably longer for most. In addition, hikers must carry all their own supplies, which of course should include at least a gallon of water per person per day. It is highly advised that no one attempt hiking out the same day as their descent as this is far more strenuous than most people expect.

Other tourists might opt for a helicopter or airplane tour. The companies offering this method of travel offer a world class view of the best there is to see, but it is a short and noisy way to see this destination, and the trip lasts on average only 30 minutes. Sure, the aircraft swoops down toward the river, but passengers can only watch as the Grand Canyon river rafters have the adventure of a lifetime.  

The ultimate total escape from reality is to get into the canyon and stay there a while on a Grand Canyon white water rafting excursion. On these trips visitors are part of a small group of like-minded adventurers. They are led by very experienced guides who will take care of almost all their needs for the duration of the trip. These folks will be well fed, entertained, and guided on thrilling river and land based day hikes to see scenery and vistas that relatively few people on earth will ever enjoy. The river portion of the days will vary from easy floating down the river to wild thrills and hopefully no spills on world class rapids. But no one spends 8 hours a day on the river. Day hikes to old Indian ruins, waterfalls, streams and swimming holes in side canyons add to the experience and open up more of the canyon to rafters. Many visitors even say that it is the side hikes that take the trip from fun and thrilling to absolutely spectacular.

In the evenings, a great group atmosphere invites camaraderie . Many lifelong friendships are forged on these vacations. Guides prepare gourmet meals, and after dinner share history, folklore and stories about the canyon, it’s geology, flora and fauna. Most campers enjoy sleeping out under the stars – where the skies are clear, and stars provide all the lighting there is. With no city lights to dull the star glow, visitors experience night skies like people did thousands of years ago. And of course, there’s nothing like the quiet in this very remote region to promote deep restful sleep at the end of each exhilarating day.

So, when you’re looking to escape the hustle and bustle of work, traffic, city noises and pollution, think about the ultimate escape to one of nature’s greatest creations – the Grand Canyon best experienced on a commercially guided river rafting expedition.

Women in Boating

Friday 23 September 2011 @ 7:45 am

Boating is no longer just reserved for the men of this world. An increasing variety of women have developed a interest for sailing and are starting to take command of the helm. Here’s how to get involved as a woman and fulfill your  sailing  dreams.

For a long time, both men and women have enjoyed being out on the water , but in different ways. Formerly, the stereotypical lady was ignorant of how to ride a watercraft and lacked the daring to take command, leaving all duty to the men at the helm, while she sunned herself on deck or entertained the kids. The position of a lady, if any, was to take care of the lines while her spouse shouted commands.

Fast forward to the present day and ladies are more and more getting involved in motorboats, from racing to pleasure sailing, and the notion that they are second-in-command is being left behind.

They did it, so can you
Women of all ages are now creating names for themselves on the boating scene. Norwegian Marit Stromoy is one such example, having built a successful and rewarded career in F1 powerboat racing since 1989, achieving World Record speeds in 1992. She is among the only female drivers competing in this year’s F1H20 powerboat racing World Championships, representing the Azerbaijan Team.

American yachtswoman Maureen McKinnon-Tucker is another success story. Although in a wheelchair, she sails competitively and won a silver medal in 2007 as the first woman in the U.S. Disabled Sailing Team and a gold medal in the Beijing Paralympic Games in 2008. She was additionally honored with the annual Leadership in Females’s Sailing Award in 2009 (co-sponsored by Boat U.S. and the National Women’s Sailing Association) presented to inspiring women.

The more mature lady is also opting for a life on the water. Jeanne Socrates, a 67-year-old grandmother, is attempting to sail solo around the world, beginning at Canada’s Victoria Harbour. Following her spouse’s death in 2003, she took charge of the helm herself. Despite some irritating setbacks last year, she continues in her quest with a passion unusual for a lady who learnt the ropes at the age of 51.

On the water, Mars vs Venus
Men and females commonly possess different priorities and ideals on board. Men generally take responsibility for the technical features such as engine checking and upkeep while females think a lot more about the aesthetics. Also, men tend to be far more daring and inclined to sail solo while women would rather security and companionship when out on a watercraft. When issues come up, they react differently; women tend to feel embarrassed while men get frustrated. This stems from the fact that a lot of men really like a challenge while women~ladies~females} would rather be correctly trained.

Like driving a car, most ladies even argue that boats are handled far better and gentler under their management; they don’t gun the engines to make a maneuver in snug quarters or try to show off their knowledge or skills.

Although females are starting to discover their own place in the boating world, it doesn’t mean that men and ladies can’t co-exist peacefully on board. It’s simply a question of setting up eachother’s roles and tasks. The dynamic depends on many variables such as the kind and size of the boat.

Make it happen
There is a natural trend for ladies to learn the ins and outs of boating from her partner or other men, but they need their own training too, something that appeals to their individual needs and sensibilities. And there are an increasing variety of women-only programs online to meet the demand.

Dream or Two Ltd, an RYA (Royal Yachting Association) accredited Training Centre, offers crusing programs run by female skippers who provide holistic training specific to ladies’s needs. They are primarily centered on developing confidence when in command of a vessel. For them, the most important reasons that ladies take the training are that crusing challenges them, puts them in control and takes them from their routine, while offering both mental and physical exercise.

Woman in Boating, a program run by Sea Ray, also teaches women the boating ropes. Their detailed programs work on increasing ladies’s confidence and capabilities through practical courses and theory seminars in which they focus on docking, anchoring and driving.

In the US, Sea Sense runs exclusive “On Your Own Boat” ladies~women} only programs or private teaching personalized to your needs. The Boat Owners Association of the US also has a Woman In Boating division which operates a full calendar of sailing conferences, workshops and conventions targeted at ladies, as well as providing the latest news related to the female boating community.

Finally, there’s some good reading material out there to help ladies on their way to the helm. “It’s Your Boat Too: A Woman’s Guide to Greater Enjoyment on the Water” by Suzanne Giesemann encourages women to consider a greater position on board by addressing common concerns and self-limiting attitudes. She shares the nautical knowledge necessary to become a safer, more competent, and positive female boater.
