About 10 years ago, on a rainy, crappy day, a friend and I were fishing the island across the river at the Barrier Dam on the Cowlitz. We had rowed his drift boat over. Up the river from us were a couple of fisherman who had rowed a Seyvlor Kyak over to the island. The river came up about a foot during the couple of hours we were standing there. Eventually these two clowns jump in the Seyvlor with all there gear and start to paddle back across the River. About half way they run out of gas and begin to drift down past the launch. As you may know there is a clay bank there with lots of fallen trees. Anyway as they go past the launch they begin to paddle back up the river, loosing ground the whole time. They made it through the first tree, but came out sideways and were dumped by the next. By this time I'm yellin for help, as there are a few sleds around. One of these guys scrambles up the bank, but the other one just disappears. One of the sleds that was on the backside of the island comes around and heads for the Seyvlor, just as the guy bob's (no offense) to the top. They gather him and the Seyvlor up, and head up river with that stupid little kyak flying behind them like a kite. That's the worst (dumbest) dunking I have ever seen.
