Spins

Monday we paddled with 5.60' on the WASW1 gauge. Big Eddy was exciting - it seems like it always is for me - but we had good runs, basically following the flow down right of the Twin Rocks then down right of center.
The little play wave below the bridge was at a good level for spins. I've always found that it's easier to spin to the left than the right, but at this level, 5.60', I could spin both ways. My guess is that it'll be good down to 5.3' or so. Upon reflecting, I recalled that some of us ancient boaters refered to this feature as the "Helicopter Wave". It's been there for years. Although it is just a little wave, it is a good place to practice spins.
Ah, sunny weather!
