| In doing this run for nearly 10 years, I have been involved in nearly every conceivable mishap; heed the following advice. Check your cables and rudder set up, this run puts a lot of stress on your rudder-system, make sure it is on point to keep you on point. Leashes are necessary, bring it and use it! Bring 1 extra paddle for every 3 paddlers, not only is it possible to break a paddle, but in these conditions it is possible to lose a paddle on a change or on a rest break. Bring a phone, put it in a case with you, in a pack, or pocket. Marine radios are also recommended; we bring at least 1 radio and have the strongest paddler carry it with them. Lastly, PFD’s are needed, rubber one to your back iako. Other safety equipment may include zip-ties, small tools, and extra line or rubber. These items will become useful upon major equipment failures. Better to have them than to be left wishing you brought them. It is best to do the run in pieces, we stop at every opening in the breakwater, Angel’s gate is first, Queen’s gate is next, and the east end of the breakwater is last. We stop to gather all paddlers, and make a head count to make sure no-one is left behind. Try to stay on similar lines, this make’s it easy to keep track of all paddlers. \\ \\ </WRAP> | In doing this run for nearly 10 years, I have been involved in nearly every conceivable mishap; heed the following advice.
