Don't get me wrong, I'm all about the pub and paddling, but we do still have one more pool session. :)

So do both!

Looks like flood conditions are beginning at Champlain: the level is rising and the 24 hrs fluctuations due to the power stations are smoothed out. With some luck we might have an eddy this weekend!
--C.
-
So... Just went to Bate Island. Water has turned gray but not high enough. No eddy and a very small wave. And lots of small chunks of ice floating down--nothing worrisome though.
--C.
-
Should be there sometime before 18:00!--C.

If Larry shows up I can pay my membership dues!

I will be at the Pump House after work and then I will head to Champlain to see if anybody is there.
Pump House is great for river running skills (eddy hopping, attainments, ferries and back ferries... ).
Beginners and flat water skills can be done at the bottom section (ferries, rolls, braces... ).
Now's the time to practice before the weekend ;-)
-
See you there...
-
I'll be at whispers, and probably at champlain or sewer, or dessert.

Should be somewhere...
Is anyone interested in rolling practice at Champlain? I could do that for a while, and help/diagnose problems...

I called Whispers and Jenny, our usual waitress, suggested we arrive at 7 PM and sit down to reserve a table.
The band only starts at 8 PM so if we arrive earlier than that say 7PM-7:30pm we should be good for a table for at least eight people.
See you all there tomorrow,
Paul :)
-
Ok, well we'll try then. If not we can powow at our cars. :P
-
What time at Champlain?
-
I will be there around 4.
unless the thunderstorms that they are forecasting come.
