River level was  at 40,000 cfm yesterday. 18,000 is considered cutoff for safe rowing. When river level is passable there’s still a lot of river junk that has to float by before rowing is back to normal. We’ve commented on this before (please see archive link below: “Rowing With Loch Ness”) but it seems the river is always interesting, different every day in some way or other, like the ocean.

Wikipedia: There is a technical difference between the two: jetsam has been voluntarily cast into the sea (jettisoned) by the crew of a ship, usually in order to lighten it in an emergency; while flotsam describes goods that are floating on the water without having been thrown in deliberately, often after a shipwreck.
