Wenatchee at last: July 21/22

Its been a cold spring and June was not very pleasant either. But finally the Wenatchee has come down to my personal favorite (between 7000 and 4500 cfs) and we made the trip down south. That's the latest time in the year we ever paddled the river in our 15+ years of kayaking.

Down there we met up with a bunch of VKCers and the usual Seattle folks. Good surfing, spinning, and I even caught many of the 'on the fly' waves I usually don't have such a high success rate with. A great weekend... need to paddle more often...

Oh and I almost forgot... thanks to the unseasonably late drop in river levels we were treated to Saskatoon Berries, sweeter and riper than I ever tasted before. Yeah to the Wenatchee!
