Title: Champlain bridge this week after work?
Post by: ChristianG on April 21, 2015, 02:24:44 PM

I know weather is not good, but is anyone going to surf the wave after work this week? Sunday level was good, with recirculating eddy. It's even higher now, so should be even better!

I am hoping to spark up the season there on Wed. evg. I should be on the water by 6:30 and in front of the TV by the start of the third period.

Nope, I can't make it, and that is not because of the weather. But you may find yourself being hit by some of that this evg as the radar is still showing some activity pushing through the region. That shouldn't be bad though.

Well, I'll be there Wednesday and Thursday and Friday too. Maybe Saturday and Sunday as well, as I have to work Saturday.

The wave was amazing tonight. Smooth, retentive, only one paddle stroke required to catch it from the eddy...

I learned from Ryan Falls. I heard they went into negotiations a few years back. Our negotiations lasted about 9 months and did not come into effect until about 3 weeks after the birth. At that point, we've agreed the occasional outing at Champlain or on a river for a DAY (not weekend) was acceptable to both of us. In exchange, I give my wife 30 min here and there to go for a run whenever possible (i.e. between nursings). Once we can do some pumping/bottling, then I'll be giving her more free time as we're able to.

Negotiations were long and hard. Start now. ;)
