for the tubing... what do y'all use for carrying stuff like sunscreen or chapstick (not keys or valuables) Something that will be waterproof ?
And I'm not a GREAT swimmer, and have floated down the San Marcos(?) before and no problem... but if the river level is kind of low and slow, do I have to think of wearing a life jacket? (Don't make fun of me!)
Or what other kind of thing or stuff , drinks , water etc will you carry with you on the float? About how long do you think we'll be out on the water floating?
I"m just thinking about getting packed! Gonna go get some water shoes today

The river is going to be low, so you will be able to stand up in it with no problem.
I'm going to look into rigging my big cooler to float, so we can put a lot of beverages in it.
Get a mesh bag for sun screen and stuff that can get wet, and tie the bag to your tube.
We may have to go to the Comal River to have any real tubing action. That river is spring fed, so it stays the same level. It's also quite "refreshing" when you first jump in.
