Title: Potential Paddle on the Ottawa (Main Channel) Monday, July 22nd?
Post by: lafreniere.luc on July 15, 2013, 07:51:34 PM

Hello everyone... I've got a problem. I'm barely getting out at all this summer because of various other commitments (trip to Alberta, trip for work to Montreal, trip on the Noire river with family, etc.).

I'm realizing that if I don't just take a day off, I won't even get out for another month or so and I'm itching to get my paddle wet.

So, I'm thinking of taking Monday, July 22nd off and heading to the Ottawa and doing the main channel. I'm flexible for time obviously since I'm planning on taking the day off but I would need at least one other person (ideally with a car to do shuttle) to head out.

Will someone make my day? This is upon confirmation that I can get the day off which I'll confirm tomorrow with my boss but don't anticipate any issues.

Luc

I probably wouldn't mind going but it would likely be a good idea to have more than two people. Sorry that's not a very solid commitment.

That's ok, now that we have potentially two people, others may join. I've confirmed that I can have the day off.

So come on folks! Monday, awesome day of paddling!!!

Hi

I booked the day off, to join in on Monday's adventure.
This thread got convoluted, but it's still early in the game.

Actually I really want to try the Dagger Jitsu and it just so happens, Luc is proud owner of one.

Hooray! 11AM seems fine to me.

Larry, two things.

1. Do you want to meet me at the take out instead of the put in for 10:30? Time to swap a boat to one car, leave one there and meet the folks at the put in for 11? Since they are camping and will probably be doing there own thing.

2. You want try my Dagger Jitsu huh? hmmmmm I'll think about it ;) haha

Yep, WT take out @10:30. Sweet. Meet the rest of you at 11:00 at the put in.

You're growing on me Larry, I suppose I could let you try it out. ;)
