Title: Wednesday Run Down the Ottawa?
Post by: lafreniere.luc on November 04, 2014, 11:24:27 AM

Anyone not working and interested in doing a run down the Middle? Wednesday weather looks like the nicest as compared to the rest of the week.

I'm thinking a meeting time of 11AM at the WT takeout. Let me know.

Also, I have a few test paddles to try out (in the market for a new paddle). The Werner Stikine and the Sherpa. Both 197cm, straight shafts. Stikine has 15 deg offset and the Sherpa 30 deg offset (both right hand control). I'm planning on taking the Stikine with me but if someone wants to try out the Sherpa, they could take that one down and we could swap half way through.

Richard van Geilswyk will be joining with his car.

The meeting time is now earlier, 9:30AM at the WT takeout in case someone shows up. Richard needs an earlier time to get back to Ottawa in time to pick up his son and I'm flexible so he wins.

The gate at Bussy was closed last weekend; so, you'll either have to walk in from the gate or put in at McCoy and paddle down...
