I have kayaked into the river from the south on two occasions, and it is very difficult to find your way. Mind you, a kayakers eyes are only a few feet above the water, and all of the braided channels, large drift logs and stumps, that surround the mouth make for visual distortions. At least in a kayak if you run aground you can just get out and walk!
Dusty, I'm with you. No idea what it smells like either :roll: . I would never drink and paddle.
