Full Name:: Jon Light-Powell
Narrative:: What a hot and smokey summer !! We need some river time to cool down and relax. Come out on this afternoon paddle with Jon and Paige and we will do a leisurely jaunt up to the Narrows where we will find a place to play in the water and give everyone the chance to get wet. Great Time to practice your rescue and/or rolling associated skills. We may talk a bit about bracing.....

We will meet at 3:00 and try to be off the water by 6:30 so that we can all go to dinner together should we so choose.

Remember - Wet Wednesdays are a no pressure no judgement no help if you don't want it zone.
