Title: Champlain on the rise (May 26)
Post by: DaveH on May 26, 2011, 08:16:02 AM

It bottomed out at 58.5 this past Monday and it is now at 58.7. The curve has been rising sharply over the last several hours. I believe 58.7 allows one to remain in their boat to get up the eddy but there is a bit of work involved.

dont go all the way down  , peel off the main wave before you get flushed off , the eddie is fine for the top half. makes things way easier.
