Well I hope it's not some April Fool's joke... Someone should take a look at it, say, on the way to work, and report back...
Anyway, is anyone going to be near Sandy Hill that could give me a ride? I'd pay my share+beer/coffee... My # is 613-355-2470. Cheers all!

After quick talk with Christian, I'll go to Champlain as well.
Will just make sure he is downstream...

Well, we arrived at Champlain to witness the parade: hundreds of chunks of ice the size of a grand piano going down, with no sign of it ending soon. Every one else was packing up. So we went to Sewer Wave instead. It was great: a big fast green wave, good if you had a long boat, and with eddy service to boot. As for me, I had brought a short boat, well suited for Champlain. That meant that my surfs lasted about 1.5 second, slowly being flushed off the wave, no matter how much I paddled or leaned forward. Definitely not a short boat wave.
And Louis had nothing to worry about, he wasn't the one to swim this year. Water was so murky, and cold for my poor feet... I'll have to try again.

Ooooh! Feel nice to stay dry.. ;D
My boat was definitively better suited...had lots of fun and lots of carving.
