Duck,

My buddy Rick Bock told me about your incident, thank goodness everyone is okay. I also am from Yakima and have floated that stretch many times from K-Mart to the I-82 bridge, and there's some hairy stuff in there.

I'll see if I can round up some oars for ya. My buddy and I are planning on fishing the canyon tomorrow, but let me see what I can do. Otherwise, I've got a sled and depending on exactly where your boat is, I think I can run in. The only problem is that I'll need to be somewhere near a deep channel so I can plane (I have an 18' Weldcraft w/ V6, so she's heavy).

Get me some details.
