Sounds like a great experience for all. Good thing the support team (SKG) showed up! They no doubt, loved the opportunity to help. I always make the decision to tow, I never 'ask'. I tell the clients this at the safety/ put-in talk. If you wait too long, like has been discussed, you run the risk of trouble. Offshore winds, at whatever velocity, should be looked at with extreme caution. We have the advantage of a nice strong breeze that blows on the Columbia river (upstream or down) that's a hoot to 'train' in. and relatively safe. steve aldercreek.com http://mail2web.com/ . *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
