7/6/2021 - Smith River, Bolon Island Tideways State Wayside, Reedsport, OR

Time: 3.34 hours

Distance: 10 miles

We put into the Smith River from the Bolon Island Tideways State Wayside in Reedsport, OR on the morning of our 28th anniversary. The forecast called for partly to mostly cloud with winds of 15 mph. Right away the sun came out and we never really saw any clouds. There were intermittent winds, especially right near the end of the paddle but most of the day was relatively calm.
