I paddled the Sky again (at about 1900cfs) last Sunday (July 19th). This was the first time I actually joined in on a trip posted on professorpaddle.
Met a couple of cool paddlers, esp. a east coaster; Jon who's a pretty darned good paddler.
Maybe I can paddle the Bend section of the NF Nooksack and if that goes well, I might have me a paddling partner for the Tumwater canyon.
I then paddled the Sky yet again on Saturday, July 25th at 1500cfs all the way down to Big Eddy
Irene was pretty excited abut her first no flip, no swim run of Boulder Drop. We scouted the bottom section from the airplane turn eddy
Jon was there on his second run of the day in a creeker with hand paddles
Entertainment was a Ohio boy (Stephen) who has a self-taught roll that is bizzare and has him dropping his paddle while he hand rolls. H I L A R I O U S! He's a good sport too
Plan on paddling this again tomorrow
Paddled the sky again on Sunday. The entertainment today was a commercial raft that shed people upstream of the picket fence, including their guide. One guy swam thru the Needle and the guide swam to shore. The raft with three very very scared passengers surfed the hole for 2 minutes, came free and they almost made Airplane turn but got hung up on the rocks downstream of the airplane turn eddy.
Myself and another paddler (JP) paddled over to the airplane turn eddy and pulled their raft off the rocks and into the eddy as another guide came up to help them finish the run
First time since 2005 (Antelope Creek) that I have had to actually use my rope. Woo Hoo!
Nice entertainment!
Looks like Boulder Drop is entertainment central. Two days of LMAO on the run ...
Good times....
