Good to meet you Brian. I promise I won't freak you out again with my log shenanigans. First and last time. But next time let's bring a chain saw and get rid of the dernd things... :)

the first one at a right-hand bend, avoidable if you hug the left side. pretty early in the upper run.

Monk, it was a maneuverability issue. up3air was in a riverboard and couldn't move fast enough.

Oh I could move fast enough. I saw the kayakers go that way, couldn't figure out what they were pointing at, been over enough logs - thought I could get over this one.

It seems to me that there are probably a lot of lessons to glean from the incident, primarily concerning group river running/communication styles, especially between crafts, with different inherent maneuverability and visibility between them.

Yo James,

Screw the chainsaw. We should make black powder and just blow the fu*kers out.....

Otter I am not the go to man anymore ... I have relinquished the role I relished for repeating a rash array of rigorous offenses which have resulted in resentment and retaliations of plump and powerful proportions. I would suggest that you make more attempts at using words which start in R or P. Online there are a plethora or resources to produce such peculiar paragraphs pertaining to these parameters of pleasantries.

Just a thought

It was def. fun but nothing like a log encounter early on to create excess anxiety. I'm very thankful there were zero consequences. Don't know if it was the same log, not very visible, river bent right with some obstruction in the middle.

And just for the record, there is more than one " L e i f " on this forum; automatically replacing a name, besides being a questionable action, might have unintended consequences.

James, I shall partake of your righteous pronouncement and redouble my efforts towards courtley reactions. I am but a fallen (swimming?) kayaker, seeking profundities paddling, and poontang. I do not wish to offend.

Hee Hee!
