Full Name:: Jensy Myers
Narrative:: This will be the second Summer Wet Wednesday starting in West Linn! The parking is free and the put in is easy.
Meet at 5:00 for a 5:30 safety talk.
We will paddle from the put in at Willamette Park up to the Narrows with the intention of finding a nice place to do some safety practice. This is a great chance to get out of your boat and/or help someone else get back into theirs.

So - come and join us for a casual fun paddle with a little bit of swimming in the river. The water is great !!

Immersion gear is not required, but if you want to swim I would suggest some minimum article. I will be wearing a farmer john wetsuit.

A helmet is not required unless you want to try your hand at a bow rescue. If you need a helmet, please let me know in advance and we will find onej.

This trip will not include Wet Exit Certification opportunities.
