With only one no-show the turnout was very good for this early season kayak trip.
We started off with two people dumping within 100 yards of the launch point. Another kayaker stepped out of his kayak to assist and ended up in 5 feet of water. After getting them all righted and pumped out we continued on. The river was up about 5 feet and moving fairly fast. The sun came out and all was well on the river. The only need for paddling was to steer, the river did the rest.
