Official certified guide

So I got my check out run this morning. I screwed up a couple of things but generally had a good run and passed. I'm now ready and certified to run trips. It only took a couple of hours for my first trip. I got an afternoon trip after helping out setup and serve the lunch. So two trips, the second one a paid trip and how much in tips? Nothing. I wasn't too hopeful for tips from the morning run but I was looking for something from the afternoon trip, but no. Oh well. I gave them a good trip but I suppose I need to work on talking BS to them and keeping them entertained, that should give me a bit better chance of making some money. Anyway, the real deal with this is that I can now take people down on private trips. Fun runs and booze cruises in the evening. So if anyone wants to come rafting I can hook it up nicely now. Just come on by. So hopefully I see some people come on out and if you can just get here everything apart from beer and food will be pretty much free.
