Hi, still room for one more? I'd love to come along, but I'll be up front and honest that I'm still a newbie. I've only been on a couple of maybe class III runs. I just picked up a new boat that I'm super comfortable in though, and my roll in the pool is pretty much bomber now. Any reason this might be too much for me?

Hey Rich, If you have a solid roll, there is no reason you cant handle the sky. Boulder drop is a solid Class IV rapid, that can be scouted and portaged if you like, with the remaining rapids class 3. This run is extremely popular on the weekends, and is paddler friendly at these flows. Go get it!

I'm in for the whole thing, I'm definitely ready to step it up from the II+ runs.
Are we meeting at the Powerline putin or did that change to big eddy?
I'm coming from bremerton, will come over on the seattle ferry. Any need for carpools?

Ok, to be sure - just noticed that the trip title says Sat, but the date is for sunday, the 1st. What am I reading wrong here? Also... Big Eddy is the take out right? Same as the fishing access that's listed in my book?
