Could someone either provide, or point me to a source where I can read, a description of the dangers involved in paddling in and around river mouth "bars". (I think that is the correct name.) As a mainly inland water paddler, I have little knowledge of tides and currents, and I'd like to make myself more aware before I go south this winter to paddle some of the coastal waters of the eastern USA. I have recollections of reading messages from some of you describing river entrance bars, but, of course, at the time I wasn't thinking I'd ever be in a situation to need that info. I seem to recall reading a few articles as well, usually describing harrowing near- misses, but I'm not sure *where* I might have read them. I'd appreciate any and all information and/or pointers. -- Darryl (Hoping to paddle and survive...) *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
