Long Tom flow was increased to 1100 and fancied doing some playboating. I checked the lunar state earlier this week and realised it would be a close to a full moon. We had clear skies and good wether so I emailed the guys in Eugene about a sunset and moonlight surf. Steve had the great idea of having a BBQ. Steve, Bob, Dave, Pete and I headed out for a quick spin as the sun was setting and the moon was rising.  

 At this level, the pile is much better and cartwheeling much easier. Tonnes of places to spin and Dave and Bob even got a loop. One bratwurst later, we hopped back in our boats and headed out as the moon was coming up past the trees. It was a phenomenal experience. The moon was so bright it was like having a flood light on the water. Here are some photos- moon rising, Dave and Steve in the eddy and Pete at the cartwheel spot. Nice.
