Eskimo Salto Creek Boat $250 I'm thinning out the herd and have a nice Eskimo Salto creek kayak for sale.  This is an excellent boat for either creeking or an aspiring beginner boater as it is one of the easiest boats to roll.  It is also an excellent self support boat as it contains no pillars, which is possible through Eskimo's use of superior plastic and molding technique.  This boat has always been garaged and well taken cared for.  The price posted is a no dicker fair price so please no low balling.

Hello all
So myself and a handful of others are going to paddle over to Blake Island this weekend for my bachelor party and I am looking for sea kayaks to rent, borrow, trade etc. We are mostly long time paddlers and although it's a bachelor party it will be far from wild and your gear will be well cared for.

Let me know via email if you have a boat available.

Thanks

Charles

Tom,
I agree, that is a problem. Would it be possible to try to negotiate for releases when there are less boating options? I have been kayaking for 12 years now and it seems like there is never a shortage of options this time of year. As I am sure that you are aware, the reason we had something like 323 boaters show up to run Chelan this year is because there was nothing else to boat so we flocked there from all corners of the Northwest. I would imagine that releases scheduled in August and September would not have this issue. Just my $0.02. Thanks for you work on negotiating releases. I appreciate all that you and AW do.

Note the river page with updated beta:
http://www.professorpaddle.com/rivers/riverdetails.asp?riverid=535

Here is a pic of the nasty spot above fresh squeezed:
http://imgur.com/ATjjjlA

I'm going to guess that this is a combination of the high water flushes we had on Peshastin over the last 6 months combined with some of the fires that were further up in the Ingalls drainage.

The piece of wood that was below the confluence has shifted as well, and looks like it's more in play / possible portage material depending on your risk tolerance.

Just a few things to consider, especially if you are taking novice creekers out there.

Tom,

I will say that Drew and I were incredibly stoked to get on the Upper Sultan for the first time. The SnoPUD guys were top notch and helpful throughout the entire trip by giving us rides to and from the put-in, allowing us to cross the bridge at the take-out, etc. We will certainly be a part of the next release if it's still an option.

Thanks to you and others for making this all possible,
Conrad

Making changes is always possible although we have to fit within narrow windows that are approved by fish managers. The big problem is having people not show. We are supposed to have 6 people to hold a release. If people don't sign up, we know that up front, and the release is not held, no staff are mobilized and we can bank the water for a future opportunity. If we have no shows I have to sit in a bunch of meetings and be subjected to a long litany of arguments over what this is costing. My ability to negotiate changes is also compromised. It's OK. It happened; we'll work through it. Just please don't let this happen again. Next date is likely Saturday after Labor Day weekend.

Tom, thanks for sharing this feedback and the point that PUD is committing resources and ultimately costs to these releases and it's based on the sign-in process. Making an appointment to run a river is not standard operations and I dare guess that some boaters may not have realized this and the implications of a "no-show". Sharing/reminding the community outside of PP is probably a good idea and probably already on your list. I appreciate all that you and AW do and I look forward to my next Sultan trip.

Well, You know I can't resist puttin my two cents in. And, as eanyone on this forum these last three months can predict, my first suggestion is to check out one of THE crown Jewels of Washington Whitewater- The Skykomish.

Better yet, if you are any kind of lover of Wild And Scenic, Free Flowing Rivers, Please see my Associated Thread titled "File your eComment With FERC Today!"
Hurry! Time is running out!

Snohomish County PUD wants to put a damn on this beauty, and there are ONLY 2 DAYS LEFT to comment.

See my other threads titled "Sample eComments"
and "Copy, Paste, Remix and Send".

Add all three together and you can likely file an eComment with FERC in less than 20 min.

Please invest that 20 min. This proposal to dam Sunset Falls is wrong in every concievable way.

Take Action!! then I promise you I will dish up as much beta for your trip as you want! if you wanna call me, I can line you out over the phone too. But till 4/27 I am rustlin up and hustlin up comments.

Paul Revere is riding because the British anin't coming--They are already here. in this case making Fiscally stuPUD decisions that will undermine threatened fish habitiat, cost hundreds of millions, and yet only produce enough poer to charge a cell phone. Ok well I am exagerating. But not by much.

-Is there any possibility that the release dates could be standardized? Or at least partially standardized?

I realize there are many factors that determine when and if releases occur, but based on on my experience on the East Coast - vaguely standard release dates (weekend after Labor Day, etc) dramatically increase participation.

Thanks for all that you do.
