well, I can't believe this, but due to financial constraints and concerns regarding my income, I have to honestly and regrettfully express the possibility that I may not be able to make it now. It's too early to say, so I'm not announcing it officially beyond this community.
I'm mentioning it so that we can figure out what's going on in the event that I can't make it. I know that the presence of some of the crew from the previous release is prefered by the PUD folks. I'd really like to see this become an annual possibility for washington's class V boaters.
The other note is this: If you haven't been getting out on class V waters consistantly and frequently this season, please think twice about going. I don't want to build it up to be some EXTREME GNARLY "overhyped" adventure, but the people who do show up need to be capable of representing us all. That's the last I'll lexture about it here, because I also understand how unpalatable such lextures are.
