Title: Gatineau River - Sunday 11 am Bonnet Rouge
Post by: Sandra K on June 17, 2009, 09:22:46 AM: Hi All,

Gatineau is at a nice level for the big wave at high tension. Level is currently at 21. Wendy is leaving town for a bit and has been bugging me to get out on the Gat. So...any takers??

The Gat. water is colder this time a year so appropriate gear and a decent roll would be good idea and especially at this level:)

We need about 5-6 people to make this trip a go.

I would love to paddle the Gat on Sunday the only problem is I would need to hitch a ride with someone. I am of course more then willing to pitch in for gas. Is there a reason we need 5-6 people for the trip to work? With high tension being so good at this level the less people along the more wave time we get ;)

But I live in val des monts, just a bit north of gatineau.

Post by: Sandra K on June 18, 2009, 09:11:36 AM: Okay. Looks like there are enough people wanting to go. I just didn't want it to be a Wendy and me trip. Wendy and I are driving up together. We both live downtown. If there is someone needing a ride from downtown we may be able to fit you in.

I agree. I'd hate to have too many people on the wave b/c it Rocks!

If so, would even get as low as picking my slum-dog friend Cleo out of his misery and into the clean water of the Gange (oups! Gatineau).
More Saturday evening.

You can carpool with me if you can find a way into town...let's say Westgate shopping centre at 8:30am.

Is anyone else planning to meet there?

Post by: LouisD on June 22, 2009, 11:51:52 AM: Nice day through the Gatineau again...
Nice and quiet; no rafts ramming you, no line ups in the play spots, super river and great group of people...
What more can you ask for??
...well, maybe that my blade would have stayed with the rest of the paddle...
