So I'm not sure how many heard about the tugboat that recently capsized in the Skookumchuck rapids recently but it's a 15-20 minute boat ride from my Uncle and Aunt's "Caldwell Is.".
Here's a video some kayakers took of the actual capsizing.
Beware of foul launguage.

The main thing that was against them is that the current runs through the Skookumchuck rapids very fast.
Here we are at the same place a few years ago on my Unlce's 13' Whaler.
It's extremely power tidal swing
We're heading up there on Sunday.
