| We had 25+ knots gusting to 38knots for our run on Saturday on an ebb tide, which kicked the waves up pretty high. We put in at the Powell River Ferry and took out at Pacific Playgrounds at the south end of Saratoga beach for a 22k run. It started unassuming – as we were getting changed for the paddle the readings were around 18-22 knots, which makes for a really fun run out there. I almost decided to forgo the drysuit and just paddle in my V-Cold top and bottoms. Once we got out though, conditions kicked up fast and readings showed that we were in 25knots gusting to 38. I would have been in trouble in lighter clothing. | We had 25+ knots gusting to 38knots for our run on Saturday on an ebb tide, which kicked the waves up pretty high.

| DR, \\ \\ Thank you for relaying this trip report to us. Carl mentions the radio that he likes to carry. But my impression from his account is that on this trip he was only carrying it for its emergency distress signal capability. I wonder if Carl has any more to say about how easy it was for him and his trip mates to find each other after he went through his remount struggle - was that pretty lucky? (I would also like to hear his results when he is trying to use the group tracking function in the future). And does he have any observations about how usable his radio is for communication with group members in those kind of conditions? \\ \\ Thanks, \\ Paul | DR, \\ \\ Thank you for relaying this trip report to us.
