Cold, cold cold (as my grandmother used to say each word three times for emphasis. Windy as well. Big waves. I remember various stories of people who have paddled there and, while exciting, most ended do to the weather. I would wear a dry suit with a lot under it, if you get too hot, you can roll or splash yourself. Didn't Eric Stiller and Chouinard paddle down there? I've also heard there are a couple of baidarkas in storage with someone there. Being from Australia it might be hard to imagine how cold it is there - we had a man come up from Mexico for a course with us in Washington, and we gave him a lot of extra clothes as he had no idea. (On the other hand, I just got back from his area and had a ton of fleece I never looked at it was so hot).
