1981 Hole In The Rock Canoe Adventure

I missed this trip report the first time, so I am glad that @Nick linked to it in the Glen Canyon Thread.

Bubba and I almost swamped on our way back to HITR. We decided we would use the tent fly from our North Face Oval Intention for a spinnaker. High waves and wind almost did us in. We did kick everybody's ass getting back with that big sail. Scary ride though!

This sounds like a classic "young man" idea, so good on paper and the possibility for so much going wrong :)
Glad it worked out and thanks for the report
