Full Name:: Jon Light-Powell
Narrative:: The weather has been wonderful and the dam is still up at the Falls, which means the Narrows are still a wonderful peaceful place to paddle. The water is getting a little more chilly but still plenty warm enough to practice rescues, rolls, and general wet stuff.
So, come out and paddle with me and have a fun relaxing afternoon at the Narrows.

Note that we are going to launch from the Kayak Launch place over by the confluence of the Tualitin River. (copy this strange string into Google Maps for a locator: 88QW+GX West Linn)

If you have a Helmet and/or a tow rope, bring them along. Just for Practice.

I am not requiring immersion gear but if you are a cold-ish person and intend to swim, then you might want a shorty wetsuit or something.

Don't feel like you have to swim to go on this paddle. Always nice to have people around to watch and take pictures during our short in-water time.

I am interested in a Co-TO to add a couple of more participants (Paige is off to Hobuck)
