rick stoehrer Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 the mouth of the north/south river is nowhere to be unless you kinda know what you're doing.water there can get a bit confused. a few years back a fella died after "liberating" a row boat and then getting caught out. alcohol was a contributing factor as i recall....besides that though, seem to remember some other incidents there.nice to see that everything worked out though - no one got hurt; that's great news!

markstephens Posted August 6, 2004 Author Share Posted August 6, 2004 These folks weren't out in New Inlet (the mouth of the rivers) but had only paddled out to the Sand Spit for a Full Moon picnic. But given the high winds, darkness, and high tide, this in itself was foolhardy enough, as at least one of these people was in a kayak for the first time, and most were probably in small rec boats, without sprayskirts.New Inlet would have been WILD that night!
