I'd say that this is one of those places that that bears remembering that discretion is the better part of valor, especially in early or late paddling weather when a dunking could prove life threatening.
Even in the best conditions, you go over there and your going to flushed all the way out to the Narrows. A smart paddler always has a plan for the worst case scenario. I'd say wearing your PFD for sure and having such a plan is prudent for this spot ;) Q-Dave told me once that he had many clients dump there and knew of other outfitters customers doing so. They all underestimated the power of the outflow and the turbulent undercurrents present. Lash your gear in, snug up your PFD, and if you commit to the paddle-up, hit it hard ;D |
