85 - 12/18/2011 - Lower Skagit

With no rain, it was looking like their might not be any boating in December. A friend decided to do an "eagle float" on the Lower Skagit. This section of river only has a few rapids, all class I or I+, but in the winter it has a lot of eagles. The only other time I ran this section was back in August 2000, and there aren't many birds out in August.

We had a group of 4 boats: a raft, a cataraft (mine), an inflatable kayak, and a hardshell kayak. I finally mounted my GoPro helmet camera and took it. I got almost the entire trip on video (all but the last 5 minutes).
