Mary, I'm not one of the better kayakers on the site, and I have not personally experienced conditions like you describe. But, the encouragement that I can offer is this..... time and time again, I look back after a challenge and think to myself "self, I sure got all worked up for nothin!" So, there are plenty of kayakers on this site who have experience in those conditions, and since there are plenty, it most clearly is not beyond the realm of possibility, and therefore, you have but to make the journey yourself. Relax, listen closely to the instructors, concentrate, and tell us what a wonderful time you had and how self satisfied you feel once you get back!!!!!
