The topic reminds me of the harrowingly alluring (for the right craft) descriptions of the Columbia River's entrance to the Pacific Ocean in Timothy Egan's book, "The Good Rain." -----Original Message----- From: Craig Jungers Wherever separate bodies of water meet - and especially at a river bar - the kayaker will encounter a complex system of currents that mostly depend upon these factors: 1. The tide (whether slack, ebb or flood) and the tidal range; 2. The river current; 3. The wind (onshore, offshore or along-shore); 4. Any long-shore currents in the larger body of water; 5. The depth of the water at the confluence. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
