Title: Any Paddling plan to paddle tomorrow?
Post by: Annie V. on August 02, 2009, 02:46:39 PM

Hi!

Any chance people want to paddle tomorrow. Like I mentionned to a few people, I would like to do the Gatineau, but I'm open.

I'm interested in getting out tomorrow, no preferences on the destination.

Well well, since the boats are still on top of the car... Sara and myself would be interested in joining you guys for a trip down the Gatineau as well. Who knows? Maybe I'll try my electrician skills if the Transformer is powered up... So... When/where would we meet?

Alright!

After a discussion with Mr. Schlarb, we are suggesting that we meet at 8:30 at Bate Island, or at 10:30 at the take-out Bonnet Rouge, for a nice run of the Gatineau. The level is now 23.5, which is in the top third of the 'intermediate' range. This means that Seuil du Corbeau and Des C?dres are pretty much flushed out, and that the other rapids offer a variety of lines from very easy to super hard. Bonus: the famous Transformer might even be powered up! See you then!

Boy... The 3200lacs website lists a level of 19.5 at 9am this morning. Strange... It felt higher than that, but who knows...
