Here is a listen back to May 11th. My guest is a mentor, friend and hero in the whitewater community. I’m honored to have a swiftwater rescue specialist, c1 boater and whitewater gear innovator Charlie Walbridge on Bedtime Stories . During the time of this interview it was early spring and we had all been in lock down due to the Corona virus pandemic. For a couple hours our conversation melted away winter, the virus, the present and I was able to go on a journey back in time with Charlie Walbridge. It was outstanding. I learned about his first boating experiences, college life, stories of swims, people he boated with and how whitewater paddling and swift water rescue shaped his life and career. If you want to find out more about Charlie visit his website: http://www.charliewalbridge.com. So now, let’s hear from the legend himself.

Hello everyone, and welcome back if you’ve listened before and glad to have you if it’s your first time. I’m pleased to introduce to you my son Finnegan. He's seven years old and a carbon copy of me. We've been taking river adventures that last 4 years or so and now he has a bedtime story that he wanted to share on the show. We are going to hear about the Middle Yough, Slippery Rock and the Cassellman rivers. Our whitewater craft is a custom built Thrill Seeker by Attila Szilagyi owner of Custom Inflatables called the Double Happiness. It's a two man thrill seeker that we load down with two adults, two children and enough snacks to feed a small army. I do all the paddling and we usually push the limits of the craft and the whitewater we should be paddling. We are an outdoors family and we love being on the water together. I hope you enjoy this fun episode. So sit back grab a root beer and enjoy. Welcome to Bedtime Stories 4 Paddlers family edition.
