Does anyone want to run the Gatineau on Monday? Richard's description of Lefty and Bonnet Rouge sound promising!
-
Turkey calories to be burned off, and no better place to do it than the Gatineau river!
I'm thinking an 8:30 departure would be reasonable, and would have us on the water by 11:00.
I'd be leaving from Alta Vista area, and my car will carry myself plus two others with boats and gear. Also room for a fourth boat on the roof.
Anyone planning on going?

I would be in for monday, what time at bonnet rouge or if you have room for another boat I could meet you guys on the 105 and the 366 and car pool the rest.

Just looked at the level, it is at 5.5 so the waves are not in. So I will skip the day of paddling.

An excellent trip indeed! Low level ~4, but still, three excellent play-spots, two of which were VERY big.
Cheryl was trying to ferry in the slackwater below Lucifer's to play in Lamb of God. She came within inches of making it, so on her next attempt, she decided she had to be further upstream. She crossed the boil line at Lucifer's, got towed into the hole, and had an epic battle with the hole that lasted about a minute. With skirt pulled, she was launched forward from her boat, and disappeared under water for another 15 seconds, before popping up downstream with a grin on her face.
Logdriver's Waltz had a great wave that rivals Babyface in terms of size and quality, but had no eddy access. It was well worth the short portage.
Bonnet Rouge had a HUGE green wave that could be reattained with considerable effort, and provide a nice big patch to soul-surf.
Considering the weather, the good group we had, and the fact that we had the river to ourselves, I give the trip 10/10.
I'm looking forward to watching Dan's video when I get home from work.

Daniel,
At 1 minute and 36 seconds you encounter the sneaky "Donut Hole" and it muched you up GOOD! It got me a few times too.... :)
Just when you think it's over, BOOM, you get endered in that sucker.
Great video! I'm glad all of you had a great time!
