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

It is awesome to see the pictures from this trip. Looks like some great memories were made.

So much fun!!!!!

It is said Powell filled in 1980. It already was coming down in 1981. Though it rebounded in 1983.
