Rouge river section seuil elizabeth
good weather , good water level , out of ice ... allons-si
-
Im in :)

If it's at 1PM (I talked to Bast, and he seems to think that should be doable), then I should be in.
I still have to coordinate with my wife, we're actually going to be in Papineauville Chez Ti-Mousse cabane ? sucre with a bunch of friends for 11AM (reservations). Since it's only about a 20min drive away from the take out, it should work really well for me as long as we don't start until 1.
I have to confirm with my wife that she has a ride with someone on the way back, but I don't think that will be a problem. :)

Well enjoy the day on the Rouge!

Hmmm... Tempting. Temperature should be below zero, so I might take my big boat even if level (~80 m3/s) is quite manageable in a playboat...
Why are you not coming, Paul?

If I'm on the water Sunday, it will be surfing at Sewer Wave or surfing at Champlain or rolling at Ottawa U.

Good thing this event is on Saturday then, Paul.
Good Chance to try that new boat of yours!
-
ooh... I want to go.
DO IT!

Rouge does not qualify as a first spring river of the year for me, either Saturday or Sunday. You guys have fun!
Paul ;D

ooh... I want to go.
DO IT!
What's the ice situation like?
Steve Taylor (kiwi steve) is interested in joining as well.

I believe that there is no ice: too much current. Everything will be scouted anyway.
Paul, the Rouge was the 2nd river I ran in my (short) paddling carreer (1st was the Jacques-Cartier). The Ottawa and Gatineau came later. I see no reason why you could not run it in you new boat! Great opportunity to try it, and believe me: in a Super Hero, the Rouge at 80 m3/s won't even flip you, it's definitely a playboat level!

Its good. I mean there is some places with ice on sides/rocks... Its no place to be constantly swimming (although second vid suggests otherwise) but the river itself is pretty darn clear of ice so long as you know how to paddle! :P

With what paddle you little midget? :P hahaha JK You can have mine till you get a new one.

I have two paddle , I can borrow to you

And I'm out for the Rouge. Sorry guys...
I had plans to head out to the Sugar Shack that morning in Papineauville (nearby) but the reservations are a little later than what was originally planned and it's a fairly large group outing. It simply won't be possible for me to go to the Sugar Shack (which I committed myself to) and somehow get to the Rouge with enough time to paddle it. Not to mention that even if I could, we would have no margin for error if something went wrong since it would be so late in the day.
So I shall bail on this trip. My apologies. I heard there is some Sewer Wave action going on though... I may show up for that.
-
Me too. Its too cold for me.
I'll go out when its gonna be a bit warmer.
