    Default First trip of the year to the cabin

    Yesterday a buddy of mine and I decided to make a trip up to the cabin. The NOAA site said the water level was good to go... but it wasn't.

    Still, we were there with a boat, so it was our duty to give it a whirl. The boat is a 16' with a 90 HP Yamaha, very nimble and lots of power for such a small hull. It's my buddy Lee's boat, and I'm teaching him how to run a river without beating the hell out of equipment.

    This kind of an extremely low water level is ideal for showing him the ropes.

    This is the launch in Talkeetna, and usually the water is halfway up the concrete slabs you can see here. The water to the right is about 2 inches deep, so we couldn't launch there.
