After the Yukon wildfire in a kayak

We got through a barrage of lightning and smoke after a few hours of paddling. The current is 12 knots and we put in about 3 hours of actual paddling to get out asap.  All totaled @ 30 K of fire on the shore. The lightning was a bit of a concern and we paddled near the shore so that the trees could take the hit instead of mellon.  Supper was really good that night and we put in a full 14 hour day of paddling.
