Good call
Good choice on the cancellation. It's hard to say what kind of strainers may have been flushed into river after such a high level. It's never a good time to discover them when the river is moving fast.
Another problem... There is maybe 3/4 mile of slack water before getting to the takeout. The Ohio River is high now too. Normal ≈12.5 ft now ≈ 16-17 ft. I wonder how far upstream that pushed the slack water?
K & C were in southern Ohio last week during some major rains. We had a camp site right on the Ohio River for W & Th nights. The water was already high on the tree trunks. I checked a branch as a gauge mark. An hour later it was under water! Normal river is ≈20 ft. When we left Friday morning it was near 49 ft. ...and rising. Lots of flooding.
