Title: Anyone up for an argument this weekend?
Post by: Falls on October 28, 2011, 08:09:25 AM: I'm proposing arriving at McCoy's at 10:30, paddling down to the gauge, and arguing about whether to run the main or middle channel.

I'm flexible as to Sat/Sun, so will cede the date to the first person who was a preference.

So, anyone up for a heated debate?

I think theres more easy/fun play on the Middle though.

But if you're looking for a Big Water Pushy Feel and rush.. go for the main 100%

;D

Post by: Falls on October 28, 2011, 12:24:37 PM: So if anyone hasn't checked the other thread, the debate team will meet at the WT take-out at 11:00 tomorrow (Saturday).

All with temperature-appropriate gear are welcome!

I'm leaving from Orleans if anyone needs a ride.

Post by: ChristianG on October 28, 2011, 04:40:57 PM: Ok. I'm in. Looks like Jacques and I will share the ride, since his boat is in my garage...

Post by: Falls on October 29, 2011, 11:06:52 PM: A very heated debate today, although my position was not overly convincing as I swam, for little or no reason, out of LS Horseshoe. Team Middle Channel made a better case, and so it was. The bigger point of contention was S-bend vs Angel's Kiss.

Highlights:
-Jacques getting back in his boat after way too long
-Christian having a pre-debate debate with Phil. Phil is stubborn mind you, so Christian paddled out the argument in one piece
-Caroline face-surfing the hole below Garvin's underneath a canoe, both of whom got bumped out of the hole by yours truly
-Caroline running LNN for the first time
-Poutine

Highlights that can actually be backed up by video:

I will add another highlight:

Ryan surfing Butterfly. Video at 1:43 to 2:04

Cheers!

Post by: Falls on November 03, 2011, 07:07:51 PM: Caro & Dan,

I'm interested in running the Rouge on Saturday as well. Based on Christian's description in the river level thread, I think the 7 Sisters section might be more fun than the Canyon section, but I will go with the group decision.

Shaunna and her boyfriend Graham from Pettawawa are looking to do the Rouge with us as well. She posted a thread for Sunday, but I'll see if I can't talk them into paddling with us on Saturday.
