Paddling Zoar Gap over the Years

Zoar Gap has changed again. There have been three different versions of the "Gap" since I started paddling in 2006. Back in the old days I always took the easy "sneak" route on the far right. That went away with Tropical Storm Irene in 2012, and I usually eddied out at the top and tried to go right (or left, with mixed success). After last year's flooding things got moved around again and the left line got a lot easier. Here are some of my runs over the years:

My Gap record now stands at 18 attempts with 10 successful, 6 swims and 2 walks.
