I once went with a girlfreind on a very hot day. I suggested Popeye to cool off because I knew getting wet was a gaurantee on that ride. Well, don't you know it, everybody on the raft got soaked, except for us! We didn't even get a little wet. We were completely dry. It was a very odd occurance.
I always seem to get completely soaked, atleast my the bottom part, on Ripsaw Falls. On Popeye I greatfully get wet, but have a few tricks.
1) I try to wear two layers of shirts.
That way, I can take the top one off, store it in the 'dry lock' in the center of the raft, and, after getting soaked, replace it for the wet one. I can then manually dry the wet one at the hand dryers in the bathroom, carry it around and let it sun dry, or put it on if I decide to go on another wet ride.
2) I do whatever possible to keep my socks dry.
The worse thing about getting soaked is not the wet tops or pants. Those can dry in a relativly short amount of time, even when being worn. Socks wont. Socks will stay wet in your shoes for the rest of the day, and will make you uncomfortable for the length of that day.
I try like heck to keep my feet off the floor and out of the way of the water. I'll even put them up on the handrails. And if only the elastic part of the sock get wet, you should stop for a second and ring them out, because, if not, that moistur will eventually move down from the ankle to the foot.
But I refuse to cheat the system, as they say. I will not take my shoes and socks off and put them in the conpartment, nor wear anysort of poncho. That would take the fun out of trying not to get wet!
