Great advice
from w_w and K1! And from everyone else, thanks so much. I’ll post tonight when I get back. Lyn
I’m back
and had an amazingly fun time. Got dunked twice, rolled back up fine the first, swam the second. The first time I dunked because I got hung up on a rock, and rolled easily in the pool below. The second time was because there was some guy with a big camera on the shore taking pix and I was focusing on looking like I was having as much fun as I was indeed having instead of on the river in front of me. I swam because when I tried to roll up it was in some kind of foam pile and I waited a few seconds and tried again and when I breathed in I aspirated a mouthful of water instead.
The river was perfect for a first timer with sea kayaking experience. I never got cold! We all had a blast.
Thanks for all the advice, you folks are great.

Cool
It’s a real pretty little stream. Great place to visit in fall for the leaves and scenery too. Sounds like you are hooked on moving water. Pictures?
