: Skill practice session

 This trip is limited to members with a wet exit certification (except for level 1 trips when the paddler is not using a spray skirt....if the paddler is wearing a spray skirt on a level 1 paddle, the Wet Exit Certification is REQUIRED).  To successfully register you will need to sign into your OOPS member account, and your account will need to be a member of the "Wet Exit Certified" group if you intend to wear a spray skirt.  Your acceptance is conditional on approval by the Organizer, who may contact you with questions about your skills and equipment.  If the measured water temperature is different enough from that listed below to warrant a change in required immersion protection, the Organizer will contact all participants and the Trips Board member with the update at least a day before the trip.

Rating Comments: We will be by the shore deep enough to practice rescues. There is a 50 % chance of showers for Tues at this moment. Winds are predicted to be light WSW at 5 mph in the afternoon. Although this part of the Columbia is tidal, the water levels won't affect our practice as we will be close to shore. Currents are low as they are not letting much water out of the damn this time of year.
