Re: [Paddlewise] Where you paddling in '04

Tom,
I have been I the West Arm but not the East. Those I know who have done both
recommend the West so I think you are making a good choice. Two quick
suggestions:
The wind blows cold off the glaciers so bring plenty of warm clothes.
We you paddle up through icelden waters toward the glaciers only do so on a
falling tide. It is easy to get trapped in by a rising tide which clumps the
ice together...a possible deadly situation

I know you will enjoy your trip

Bob
