Title: Ottawa river this Wednesday July 10
Post by: wyszard on July 08, 2013, 11:25:24 PM
Kaitlin & I want to do a mid-week paddle this Wednesday on the Ottawa river.
Probably doing the main, depending on levels & inclination at the time.
We may make a detour to pick up Martin who is working at HorizonX, or may meet him on the river, not sure yet.
If anyone is interested let us know, I will post put-in & take-out details when we figure out the timing with his royal highness,  the Martin.

Only thing I should mention re: a ride is I need to be at the bottom of Moodie in Kanata for 6:00

Hi
yes Kevin no problem for the ride, will sort out  the details and post later on this evening, am not sure if we are picking up Martin or not, if we are then will probably take the Quebec side, if not then maybe we can meet somewhere.
Andrew I am not sure as to what time we are paddling yet, but usually we are off the river by 4 pm at the latest, once I hear from Martin then we can figure out the timing & shuttle details.

Sure, it just may impact whether I can give a ride back after paddling, so I wanted to put it out there.

Does anyone know what the level is.

I called Owl. It's between 1 and 0.5. I may be interested. Is there a ride available?

I could fit you in as we are 3 at the moment, but may have to pickup Martin at some point, (don't know yet), so we could do the squeeze as I have had my seatbelt fixed this past weekend & can now fill the car up with 5 people again. So the answer would be yes, but I cannot guarantee what time we are coming back for.

That's okay. If it works for you.

How many vehicles are going at this point. With lightning in the forecast I'm not sure if I have the option to bail in the morning or if there are only myself and Richard for shuttling purposes.

I am waiting to see if my toe stops bleeding. it's been doing so for a couple of hours. I jammed it on a nail. It should be okay. Richard, what time were you thinking of heading out?
Title: Re: Ottawa river this Wednesday July 10

Hi Liz, I think Richard is hoping you can ride with me. Are you OK to meet at the Eagleson Park and Ride in the morning?

Sure what time? In case this toe thing is not under control, can I give you a call. Stupid little accident. I haven't heard from Richard.

Actually reading his earlier post,  I thought he was taking me.

8:45? If you're not good to go in the morning my # is 613-852-3347. I think Richard's vehicle is fairly tight at this point with 4 paddlers, you'd be the 5th.

Hi
Ok Caitlin figured out that the best thing is as follows,
Liz gets picked up by Andrew as they are both in Vanier,

I will pick Caitlin & Frasier in the glebe around 8:15 & then pick up Kevin somewhere at around 8:45
Is this OK with everyone ?

I have had no word from Martin (the little weasel), so he is probably doing something he shouldn't, and is in avoidance mode, who knows ?

By the way Kevin, Caitlin really wants to meet you as you both work at the General.

So I expect to be at the put-in for between 10:15 & 10:30 to drop off all of the stuff and people, & be at the take-out for between 10:45 to 11:00 am.
Take your pick.

I'm suggesting the park and ride on Eagleson because I have a softball game at 6:00 at the bottom of Moodie which I won't be going back to Vanier before. 8:45 should give us time to get to the put in where we'll drop our stuff, meet up and get shuttle set up. Hopefully that works for all.
