KS,

Looks a little rough for me. I remember seeing you on the South Arm of Knife Lake in October last year. So, where are you going this year? Looks like I'll miss seeing you; we are planning on heading out October 9th for eight days.

Tks for the wishes db.

...*watcher

It was a little rough for me.. that is the small stuff, I couldn't photo the big stuff, cuz I didn't have the right stuff.

I got the 5th thru the 9th, I will go in on either Sag or Seagull and meander around. I have an Achilles tendon in itis so I'm going to limit portaging.. I would like to get down to Knife Lake again and look around stay for a day. Should be doable. Weather forecast looks great.

Have a good trip

KS,

Small ;D
That looks plenty big/scary too me :'(

Here's an item that may/may not help your photo efforts?
I figure if it will work on a surfer's wet suit, a kayak vest should be okay as well.

Great shot!

I should forward it to someone who was asking about doing a complete coastal circiut of Superior, in the fall, without any formal training. If you can handle this, you *might* be ok.
