Rough waters

A GBH on the edge of the dam sluice box outlet. There's a lot of water coming out of that thing.

Nice shot, Jeff. I would love to surf that stuff in my sit on top kayak.

Thanks! Some people tried it and got into trouble. Ended up having water rescue come out and fish them out of the water, and it ain't free. The turbulence from the water rushing out of the sluice box is extremely treacherous. I also think there is a stiff fine for putting a boat into the water in that area.

What kayak you got?

What kayak you got?

I think it's just an inexpensive Pelican, nothing fancy.

I'm looking at getting an Oru foldable kayak for flat water kayaking. Hoping that the birds will be less flighty if I'm on the water with a low profile.
