Weak paddlers with decent judgement wanting to paddle open waters in the middle of nowhere sounds like a big fat contradiction in terms. Also sounds like potential trouble. What if the wind suddenly blows in the wrong direction, say towards Okinawa?. What if one or more paddlers poops out in midstream? They should at least bring along some strong and experienced paddlers to balance things out a little. Just my opinion. Brad Bradford R.

The outfitter will also ferry them and their boat back, to Fair Harbour, I think. They are weak paddlers in strength, though he is a seasoned mariner, and has reasonably decent judgment. Because of their weaker paddling strength, and so they can explore some of the less-visited areas of the Sound, they plan to take three days to make the Fair Harbour - Kyuquot stretch. They have asked me to query the group for advice *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
