I feel kind of stupid asking this but here goes...
I have owned a 20ft low-pro Hawaiian jet for 10 years and have never been on a river. I have been on lake Mojave, Castaic, Pyramid, and San Antonio but never the river. I grew up in a boat, always on lakes. I know that knowledge comes with experience but I was wondering if anyone could express in text what is it to be "River Aware"?
Obviously many of the things learned on lakes apply but what specifically can you think of that is unique? I know it sounds silly but sometimes it takes a stupid question to really make a seasoned boater think about it.
Whatcha got?
