Eric:

Maybe.........but

Have both drift and jet boat.....use the jet about 99% of the time.

1. Have run all the local rivers, including the areas in the proposal. Sure don't do if the water is to low.

2. Think this is "over kill", a more reasonable approach would have been a size limit on boat/motors.....15'and smaller, 40 HP motors, ie.

3. Think the WDF...needs to address the additional need for "public boat launches" before the proposal is "law".

A. Would need to have 2 more on the Satsop, probably around Cook Creek and then to replace the one in the west fork area.

B. Same amount on the Wynoochee, would suggest the Carter Creek area and of course Shaefer Creek area.

Will be interesting, sure hope that having WDF pesonnel living in one of these affected area isn't one of the driving forces behind this. Already has tried to "block off" the gravel bar access in the White Bridge area.

As more and more "baby boomers" retire, and have the "toys" they'll need to have places to play. Bottom line, Grays Harbor is fast becoming one of those "play areas". As you well know, the "launch area's" need major upgrades or in fact need to be built and/or maintained to handle this increase in future boat traffic.

If nothing else, makes for interesting reading!!! And allows people to "work on their typing, english, spelling skills....

Tide is right!!!! smile.....
