Oh yes,  I was wondering if that was your group.  I'm the guy who said "gotta love that tailwind" or something to that effect.  Did my prediction come true, that you would "have a headwind on the way out"  ;)

I wish I had known that was you.  I would have loved to have taken a few minutes to meet you and to get the early scoop on the BWJ.  We were kind of watching for qp, woods, and kawish, knowing they were planning on spending that evening on Burke, but it sounds like they'd already pushed on to PP by the time we passed thru.

We did have some headwind on the way out.  Wind was blowing hard out of the west which worked out great as we traveled south on Agnes.  Once we made the turn west on the East/Jeff route it was more of a struggle, especially for the two canoes in the party with younger teenage bow paddlers.  The same wind also gave them some trouble across Bayley Bay the next morning.
