Wow, that sounds like an adventure. Given the currents we hit during the week, I'd be concerned about being too far out on a canoe or kayak. However, it was great to see campgrounds that were only for "human-powered craft," and they were active when we were there.

I got to kayak on the Oregon Coast this week (fresh water lakes, not the ocean) when we spent time there at a beach house. In a week or two, I hope to go back and kayak Nehalem Bay and the Nehalem River.
