Brad, You know me. We paddled together once. I worked pretty hard to convince the couple to stick to tamer waters. The guy is a stubborn old coot, in his middle sixties. He is determined to try this. So, I agreed to gather good information for them to mull. So far, I am not getting a lot of advice warning them off. The consensus is that this route is pretty tame. Go figure. -- Dave Kruger Astoria, OR ----- Original Message ----- From: "BRAD" <brad_at_mth.pdx.edu> To: <kdruger_at_pacifier.com>; <paddlewise_at_paddlewise.net> Sent: Tuesday, June 10, 2003 4:47 PM Subject: Re: [Paddlewise] Advice for Weak Paddlers in Kyuquot Sound? 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.
