Martin and I have decided to do the Ottawa middle channel on Saturday. Looks like it will be a nice warm day, Renfrew weather forecast is 15 and sunny.
Meet at the take out for 10:15 so that we can arrange the shuttle, or (10:30 at the put-in if you are late). If anyone is interested in coming, let us know & maybe we can arrange a carpool or a ride.
Last week the level was at 13 and I tried some of the alternate routes for the first time, ex "Magical Mystery Tour" which turns out to be an excellent level for beginners (I was with a bunch of Carleton U co-eds) and all of the gnarly macho stuff ex "Little Trickle" can be circumvented with easy class III stuff.
I am so lazy that I might repeat the process if I can find someone to be lazy with. Martin actually walked back and ran McCoys twice & No-Name twice, (The second time on No-Name, the boys had a race).

I would love to go with you guys, but can only paddle on Sunday. How flexible are you on the date?
-
I will let him make up the decision but I was planning on doing middle with him Saturday and petite Sunday with others.
-
Not flexible at all, as Sheila, my wife has given me Saturday for paddling & Martin wants to do Petite-Nation on Sunday with the macho-run-the-waterfalls crowd.
-
Yes me Jean-Nicolas and Luc aka the macho-run-the-waterfalls crowd.
-
HA! You guys are pretty funny... All I need is one swim and I won't be so macho anymore ;) But yes, I'm heading up to the Petite Nation Sunday. So if anyone wants to jump in with me, there are two more spots available. Martin and I are alone at the moment. Leaving from Barrhaven, then over to Bank/Hunt Club area to pick up Martin then off to the Petite Nation.

Hey everyone we had a great day on the ottawa. 2 swimmers, Richard who did little trickle, he had a nice line but at the end he stopped paddling flipped over then swam. He was fine after.
Now this swim was the best I have ever seen, we are going down black velvet (the easy stuff at this level) Daniel (coolfarmer) goes into a small eddy river right, then he tries to get out of the small easy eddy and flips over and cant roll up and swims. He was using my paddle when he flipped ( carbon bent shaft paddle from mec) and says that "the paddle didnt work". He just didnt want to admit that he swam.
Overall we had a great day on the river!!!
-
>:( your paddle does not make the job! :)
see you tomorrow :)
-
Lol or you cant roll.
See you tomorrow Daniel!
-
Jk Daniel we now you can roll but just admit you swam it and it was not the paddle.
-
Sounds like you guys had a good run. Of all the places I've seen swims, I've NEVER seen one at Black Velvet. I'm impressed.
Level still holding around 12?
-
Yes 12 and a quarter. If I remember correctly
