A 10' Sawyer MX-G with ash blade and rope wrap. That fancy laquer on the blade doesn't let you write a name and number with sharpie ![]("smileys/smiley9.gif")
![]("smileys/smiley10.gif") Twila and I surfed a HUGE hole below Boulder Drop today.... when we came out the oar had broken it's leash... we followed it to Aquagasm and then lost it.
This oar means a lot to us...appropriate reward offered. Does anyone know of the "ocean sailing" version of ProPaddle....I have a feeling that our oar is taking a solo swim to the sea. Chris (206) 375 3105 |

That sucks about the oar....hope you don't have too many issues like that on the Grand. ![]("smileys/smiley17.gif") I lost no pride walking boulder drop today. ![]("smileys/smiley11.gif") Didn't think I'd ever do railroad bridge to big eddy, but well worth it at 18K! ![]("smileys/smiley20.gif") |

![]("smileys/smiley23.gif") I think the larger lesson I learned is 3-fold
1) Watch the hole on the left below Boulder Drop 2) Cataraft's surf sideways very well 3) P-cord breaks at 18k Information for others.... the wood on a counter-balanced oar DOES float |

Mr. Moon
Your oar will be the likely find of a fishing boat in the Sound. That sucker was on a mission to ditch us, and the thought of trying to wrastle with it above that rapid didn't appeal too much! The counter-balanced detail explains why it was floating blade up, with a whole 2 inches visible above water. Just the thing to reel in across my cockpit:)
Great times on the river, nonetheless. Survival is always a solid conclusion!
