Wife was scoped last Summer. I guess she's feelin' OK because she wants to do a 4-day slog on the Olympic Coast. Here I've got a bigass outrigger canoe where we can pack in a grand camp and sail and fish all over the place, have steaks every night, and she wants to hump in and walk for vacation. Eat dried [bleep] for several days. OK. We've got Ti Goat goat poles, very nice and light, twist lock can be ornery. Leki's, two twist locks per pole to malfunction, but also nice. But I still use my Ramer pushbutton poles from '85. Anybody remember those? Still going strong. I'm leaving on the self-arrest grips, which I think Black Diamond has taken over? Or maybe Life Link? I forget. But my point is that those things, reasonably padded w/ some spare clothes and duct tape, become very functional crutches. If wife blows out her knee, she can hobble out, rather than pay for an airlift.
Son and I hope to catch some surf perch.
