Comment on Why this shouldn’t have happened by Jess

I think the KGW article leaves a lot of questions unanswered. I, too, would like to know if they had the proper equipment and attire. And, I agree, if only one of them capsized, how were the other two unable to get him to shore or out of the water? Also, why did one of the kayakers have to get to shore in order to call for help? Why in the world didn’t he have his cell phone on him?

I can see the river from my office window and there are HUGE things floating down river. It looks like an incredibly dangerous place to be in any vessel but especially one so low to the water (limiting long-range visibility of floating objects) and with limited speed (to get out of the way of said objects). I’m certainly glad that the kid is alive!

That is great work your doing for your river, imagine if everyone just picked up a little garbage…

Comment on Review of the Uniden Atlantis VHF marine radio by Craig

I too started out with the white Atlantis 250 that I had purchased for use in my power boat. I has been dunked and dropped in the surf zone more than once, and still works as good as new. I did however up my game with a Standard Horizon HX851 for the MMSI/DSC capability. That and it floats, has a built in flashlight, and GPS. The Atlantis is my backup for buddies without a radio.

You might as well get a couple cups with a string.

Nah, cold doesn’t bother me. Was out just over a week ago. A back injury really slowed things down this year. But, yes, I’ve been neglecting this blog. I’ll have something soon.

Good blog,
Too bad you’re not writing more often, but maybe it’s because of the cold weather?

I recently read about the stagnant waters that can seep into areas of the kayak if all holes are not repaired. Your articles are so informative and even to care for the kayak is something to be knowledgeable of .

Great Post.

I use a large car brush on my OK, it works the soap into a lather and speeds things up a bit.
