Jeff West (1970- 2012) at Gorilla, circa 1994.<br><br> Jeff was a much-loved and respected long-term fixture in southeast paddling, and died on approximately Sept. 10th, 2012, while attempting to solo paddle the Stikine River in British Columbia. He was a veteran of Stikine, and you can read his write-up of an earlier trip here: <a href="http://jacksonkayak.com/blog/2010/09/27/jeff-west-takes-a-villain-to-stikine-in-a-day/">Stikine In A Day</a>. More about Jeff can be found on the web by a simple search, as well as looking at his <a href="http://acekayakingschool.wordpress.com/">AceKayaking</a> blog.<br><br> A veteran of a total of 12 Green Races (<a href="http://www.boatingbeta.com/race.cgi?raceid=0&compID=157">link to his race history</a>), he had a series of impressive paddling accomplishments -- including two marathon runs on the Green. One time he and some others completed <a href="http://terravidathreads.com/blog/vertical-mile-green-river-narrows/">10 laps</a> in a day, and the other time they completed a staggering <a href="http://www.americanwhitewater.org/content/Journal_show-page_issue_6_page_22_year_2006_">11 laps</a> in one day.<br><br> I am unclear on the date (and photographer) of this picture, but saw mentioned elsewhere it was 1994. Please let me know if you can help. johnpilson and I'm at the gmail.<br><br> (Also, dunno why but this pic is showing as 'huge' for me on my screen, but reverts to more normal if I click "see full size".....I wanna know how to fix this)<br><br>
