RE: [Paddlewise] short trip report

     I forgot to mention that there were eagles everywhere we went. 
If you toss a fish into the air, there is a chance that an eagle will 
swoop down and grab it (we actually did this last year). The other 
image I forgot to mention was that of a 10 lb salmon tail-walking 
across the deck of my kayak, as K. tried to take it's picture. That 
would have made a great video.
