SAS 120 – Moving on Waterways

Moving on the waterways needs to be done very carefully. A large group will need several rafts. The first should carry no equipment or provisions, just the fittest group members to act as lookouts and warn of hazards. Waterfalls and rapids are often indicated by spray or mist. They can also be heard for some distance. If in doubt, moor the raft and reconnoitre on foot.
