That looks fun! I personally wouldn't want to go out by myself, but that's because of what my brother and his friends did on Colorado River one NYE. Left on inner tubes with beer and had to be rescued (and that was 4 guys, but the beer!) But being alone is so nice. I never get that.

I don't have any suggestions. I suppose if I got stuck I'd probably just flip over the side and get all wet, drag it back with a rope. But that isn't ideal, the whole having to get wet part.
