Get some extra drain plugs for your boat, its amazing how those things get lost and even if you never lose one, you may well run into someone who needs one for their boat. Had that happen down at Browns Park and thankfully found some great guys with a couple spares to help out.
The 'greenriver crawl' as its called is a great way to keep the boat pointed downstream while basically shifting it sideways. I don't know if that was on the videos you saw and its hard to describe. Basically if I want to move my boat to the right, I will pull with my left arm and move the blade of the right oar right against the boat so I'm actually pushing that oar. You'll see guides do it regularly on the river.
