Title: Ottawa River - July 26th, 27th, 28th
Post by: SarahD on July 21, 2014, 08:00:50 PM: Allô.
Will be kayaking on the weekend...

I have the strong feeling that the level will drop from +4 to minus 1 and it will be beautiful play boating time all over the Main channel. It will be sunny and bugs won't come out at night. Rafts won't run us over and there will be cold beers (or your favorite pop) waiting for us at the end of the day.

If you want to join me to run the river (and play a lot), come and meet me at the Wilderness Tour Take Out at 11am on each of the days to set shuttle.

Sarah !

Post by: Jordan Reinders on July 22, 2014, 07:32:15 AM: I think I'll be there for the day on saturday... I might camp over till sunday but I think I'll decide that later on in the week as the weather becomes more certain, and as I figure out how much studying I still have to do before Aug 1.

Post by: Jeffrey J Templeton on July 22, 2014, 06:27:44 PM: I was hoping to run the upper pet but I've not heard back on that trip so it looks like it may be a no go. If that's the case I'll paddle with you guys both Saturday and Sunday.

Let me know if you hear back about the upper pet, I would be interested in that.

That said I may also be in for at least saturday on the ottawa.

Wellll.... so much for the level predictions! Let's hope your predictions for the weather, bugs, rafts, and beer/pop (thanks for that comment! ;) ) are more accurate!

Title: Re: Ottawa River - July 26th, 27th, 28th
Post by: SarahD on July 25, 2014, 09:03:50 AM: I was thinking of meeting at 11am at Wilderness Tour take out (Black's). Wait 15 - 20 minutes there for everybody to show up and then head out to the put-in...

Post by: Jeffrey J Templeton on July 25, 2014, 09:33:59 AM: Guage was 6 1/2 yesterday. That's too high for me to run the main. Anyone planning to run the middle tomorrow (Saturday)?
Title: Re: Ottawa River - July 26th, 27th, 28th
Post by: Jordan Reinders on July 25, 2014, 09:39:27 AM: I'll be doing the middle tomorrow. I'll be at blacks (WT free take out) at 11:00 tomorrow, unless I hear that other people are meeting elsewhere.

Post by: Jeffrey J Templeton on July 25, 2014, 09:41:19 AM: Excellent. I will meet you at the takeout for 11am tomorrow.
Title: Re: Ottawa River - July 26th, 27th, 28th
Post by: SarahD on July 25, 2014, 03:28:38 PM: I think I will opt for the middle too! It will be fun. And rainy. À demain les fous.

Title: Re: Ottawa River - July 26th, 27th, 28th
Post by: Dani on July 25, 2014, 06:43:33 PM: I'm still undecided but would prefer the Ottawa - is anybody driving out tomorrow morning who would be interested in drive-sharing? Am open to either stay overnight or come back in the evening.
