Steve,

Ah gee... you always know how to make me feel jealous... Here I am fretting over the low water levels this summer while you're roaring down raging torrents of pristine water... ;-}>

Sounds like some pretty exciting paddling action there. I'm glad you have a couple of experienced whitewater paddlers to go out with. That big undercut rock on the 90 degree turn sounds rather nasty... wouldn't want to get pinned against it. Better work on that left-side roll! (-:

I was just thinking that the "dry season" there must be almost equivalent to sitting out the winter here. How long does it last for? That's one thing I'd like... being somewhere where the paddling was a year round pursuit.

Hi Steven, long time no post.

I read with interest your description of the place with "funky hydraulics." I am not a thrill-seeker, and things like that are the reason why.

I have been thinking about getting a kayak, for paddling on the Occoquan, which is quiet, and the Chesapeake, which is much like the ocean. I have never had lessons in rolling. Do I need to?
