I know these posts are completely out of order but give me a break. It's been a week and I have to try to remember all that has happened.
Kokatat rules when it comes to watersports wear. I was paddling just with their Gore-Tex paddle top but in anticipation of several rapids I broke out the heavy stuff--Kokatat's Expedition Gore-Tex Dry Suit. After putting it on I felt much better about the day ahead!

Had the sail up the other day. When winds are out of the southeast and waves in check I fly the sail! It helps to give you a break from the constant paddling.
Thanks again to the folks at Wildwasser who provided the sail and a couple of deck bags for the trip! The sail is awesome and everything in the deck bags has remained dry despite seas crashing over the deck!

After timing the run through Yuculta Rapids at slack I pulled into Big Bay for the night...actually two nights on account of weather-heavy fog and rain--yummy. Anyway I was able to take a walk around the bend and view the rapids that appear when it is not slack. This is NOT funny stuff. Huge whirlpools grabbed this telephone-pole sized log and flipped it on end then sucked it down. Five minutes later it popped up a few hundred yards away. Definite attention grabber. To round out the mix throw in a few giant eddies, overfalls and actual rapids and you are ready to rock and roll.
