A middle-aged guy and his girlfriend in a boat so overpowered they could barely make it run in a straight line. He'd give it full power and make two or three turns before it got away from him... then repeat. I had thought about paddling this waterway but when I witnessed this I decided not to attempt it. My guess is that this happens a lot.<<<<<<< When I was a kid (probably around 55 years ago or more) they used to have a powerboat race down the Sammamish Slough each Spring about daffodil time. Our dad would take us to watch the mayhem at some of the harder corners. We enjoyed watching some of the boats losing it in the corner and skidding up on the bank. We never went to auto races though. This was probably because the Slough race was free. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
