Looks like they have it under control..
That is Jake and Marianne's J-rig. It has at least a 25hp 4stroke on it, but when motors are not allowed they run the rig with oars. It sucks oaring a boat that heavy, yet that is what the round beefy towers you see in the first picture are for. The hose is wrapped around it, and the cantilever log is strapped directly below it.
I have had the pleasure of assisting Captain Jake with rigging his boat and what concerns me is the lack of boxes below the deck in the fore and aft section. This looks like they de-rigged it along with the day cooler taking the snout tube to town, Riggins?.
Maybe find log, stick it into tube while surfing in a hole? Can't wait to get the scoop. His handle is oarboatman on our buzz... oh, hope they are ok.
They are the most competent boaters I have met who do their own month long Alaska trips etc all the time. Actually managed to learn a lot from Jake and Marianne during their stay in CO. Damn that kid knows his shit...
Respect.
.. we'll see you on the MFS on the 17th with flows around 3. L8.
