Was at McCoy's last night. The idea was to surf Babyface, but also an excuse to thread the needle--quite easy right now. When you're there tomorrow, make sure to spend some time on Babyface, as it will not last very much longer. The wave was still fun, a bit hard to catch, still quite retentive but very bouncy. I even got air. So much that only my paddle blade was touching the foam pile while my boat was almost upside down. I wish it had been caught on video, so that I could figure out how to repeat the feat... The gauge level was just above zero yesterday and will likely drop slowly as time goes. Have fun tomorrow!  --C.

I am pretty sure babyface only gets better all the way down to -2... I could be wrong.

No, you're right: I just checked the bible (Paul Mason's map of the river), and Babyface is best at -2 on the gauge. So good news!

No thanks  to your Jackson vilan, am getting happy with my fluid detox, so don't want to ruin the relationship by being a boat slut

I used to be the biggest slut EVER!  ;D
