Since the should be good and the weather should be good, I want to get some playboating in on the middle.

Who's in?

(Which road is the one to WT / Black's take out? I forgets ???)

Post by: GrahameH on June 03, 2008, 04:28:34 PM: There's few markings for it. I think it's municipal address #1928, but I may be wrong. Just head to the put in if you can't find it.

Post by: ChristianG on June 04, 2008, 03:54:29 PM: Hi guys. I'm in. This time, I have access to a car but can only bring one boat (it's a Toyota Echo...). Perhaps we could optimise vehicle usage. Can we setup a meeting place closer to Ottawa? As usual, I am more than happy to contribute to cost.

I'm up for it also - 29 degrees - holy cow. I'm not sure I'll have time to get the racks together, so I'll also be looking to ride with someone if possible.

I'm coming too. Kelly do you want to carpool? We could meet at Champlain at 8ish. That gives me time to grab a latte. The Tim's in Arnprior just isn't civilized enough. I can drive if you like.

Post by: PatB on June 05, 2008, 08:45:20 PM: Hey everyone,

I'm still not sure I can go, but would anyone have a spot in their car (I can make it to the Champlain bridge)? And what time are you guys planning on getting back to Ottawa at? (ballpark).

Cheers,

Pat

Title: Re: Ottawa Middle Channel June 7 --> looking for the photographer
Post by: Sean on June 07, 2008, 10:05:23 PM: Hi All,

Thank you to everyone for yet another wonderful day of paddling, followed by a greasy breakfast/dinner at the Broken Paddle!

There was someone there taking pictures/video(?) while we were running Lower No-Name and also surfing the wave at the bottom.

Is that person in CdB? Are they watching this forum? Does anyone here know who he was or how to contact him?

Thanks!

Sean

Title: Re: Ottawa Middle Channel June 7
Post by: liz edwards on June 10, 2008, 12:39:05 PM: Hey Grahame

Is there actually a video? I am confused but that's not terribly hard to do. Any video I've tried to access on the forum seems not to work. Any suggestions (in small words). How else am I supposed to distract myself from writing report cards is I can't figure these things out? There's always Google I suppose.

Post by: GrahameH on June 10, 2008, 12:41:50 PM: internet explorer 6.0 (an older, archaic, but popular brouser) may not be able to see the embedded file. Try going to "video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3290470609927678275&hl=en" directly
Title: Re: Ottawa Middle Channel June 7
Post by: liz edwards on June 10, 2008, 12:46:33 PM: Ouch!

Access blocked by the Catholic school board. Either they're not pleased with my work ethic or they're highly suspect of what a paddling video may contain. I suppose they might have point or two.

Post by: liz edwards on June 10, 2008, 03:57:26 PM: Still sadly no access. We tried downloading it. Will try something else tomorrow. Not sure what. It doesn't seem to want to do anything. Unless there's another suggestion.
