Well I am drying gear and getting ready to take off again. Just don't want to waste vacation time. Short trip this time. I am heading out to one of the Forest Service Cabins in the area and using it as a base camp for day trips. Lots more rain coming according to the weather service so a dry cabin with a wood stove sounds nice. when it rains it pours, oh well Bob *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).

Very tough winter surf in here, but doable between systems. Oh, it'll be raining I'm sure. Biggest issue here, next to surf and access to put in (snow/logging roads) is falling branches n' sometimes trees. Google Earth _at_ 50036'04.09"N 128016'05.30"W Cape Palmerston can be a bear in a big sea (lots of rebound). Exit and return via San Joseph Bay can get closed out too. Biggest problem is my wife says no more paddling on the edge. Maybe a SPOT would solve her/my dilemma. Then I can be a "kept" man but maybe have my cake and eat it too. Glad your wife trusts you Bob. Guess you know Mother Nature bats last (as one paddler put it). You are a good man. Probably a Saint - oh sorry, wrong orthodoxy. :-) Looking forward to your paddle trip report - even if it was a truncated excursion. BTW, the new boat I'm interested in, the Atlantis Spartan VI, is undergoing second prototyping. I wasn't too happy with the cockpit and wet ride at the MEC Paddlefest dibut, but the method used to get the first version involved a simple cut-down from the higher volume version in production, including the cockpit coaming from the bigger sister; so once that gets dialed in with a coaming/cockpit-specifit mold and better deck/hull fairing, it should be a potentially great killer kayak for open, rough water work (think shorter Outer Island kind of dimensions), though I doubt it will track well without a skeg for the lighter crowd, and as a low volume sea boat, it's appeal may be limited - or more so its potential fit.. Still looking for a boat to float my moat.
