Big water 4000 Island’s on the Mekong
Sean and I have been in Dong Det (an island in the middle of the Mekong) now for a few days. What we have found here is an amazing place with more white water then we could ever achieve in the few days we have here. Big waves, some of the scariest looking grade 6 big water I have ever seen, and big water boof lines that shame the Zambezi.
Scouting missions have been filling our days with amazement, allot of lines would be foolish to run with only two of us, but they go!
There was a guy fishing out there, don't ask how he got there though because we have NO idea
Yesterday we both paddled a big water channel down the section that is known as The Four Thousand islands. We found big waves and big holes that are formed from the tops of 15m waterfalls (in the dry season).
The river its self is amazing, the biggest river by volumes I have paddled before (much more volume then the Nile) and the crazy thing is the river changes up to 4ft a night.
Today Sean and I paddled the biggest rapid that has been fired up on the trip. (In terms of volume and length)

The line down this rapid something like punch giant hole on the right, Paddle, paddle, tuck and hope for the next hole, Then HARD right, then HARD left.
Lachie feeling very small
