Any taker? A lot of fun.
By then I might even have a valid passport. Ogdensburg is such a quiet border crossing that my expired passport did not even raise an eyebrow, both ways...

I will probably go.
-
I hope to go, at least for Taylorville. Eagle might be an interesting spectator sport.
I guess I should look for some arm/elbow protection first?
-
I would highly suggest it.

I am getting my new passport next Wednesday, so good to go.
-
I'd love to go and film the whole thing!
Also volunteering as a shuttle pilot!

Cool!
Let's put together a good group!

So I got some elbow pads.
What's the water temps like on the Beaver? Still neoprene lined shorts and a drytop conditions? Not yet full drysuit conditions I hope? Although that will be coming soon enough.
-
Was just there this past weekend. Dry tops only and rolled... was very, very comfortable.
-
Honestly, we didn't need the dry tops. Most people were just in rash guards.
I should be there this weekend. That said, I may need to hitch a ride.
-
I will likely head back down as well.

My favorite roll of the whole trip was when I was laughing at you for having to roll on the wave at the bottom, and then the same wave flipped me and I had to roll. Instant karma.
Is there a meeting place for car pooling?
My car might be in the shop, so I might need a ride.

May have to bail as I forgot a previous appointment.

Best place to meet is Fallowfield Park'n'Ride...
-
Ok, so I have my car back all fixed.
Whats the plan for saturday morning?
-
Fallowfield Park'n'Ride? what time?
-
Well, we want to be there for the release which starts at 10am... its about 2 hours drive, so 7:30ish is probably best.
-
Will be at Fallowfield P&R with a returning paddler who has been absent for 3 years - Adrian. Should be a fun day!
-
Ok, will be there too!

hi Cdb'ers,
I am hoping to join you guys tomorrow at Beaver.
No-one in Kingston wants to come out to play.

What a fun river!
Thanks Jon for leading the way through 3 laps of Taylorville.
First lap was pretty clean, second lap I swam out of the slot on the left of the island, and apparently hurt my shoulder.
Third lap, got my hubris handed back to me with swims through Beaverator and Dog Leg. Somehow no video of the swim in Dog Leg though, must not have started the camera for that one. I'll do something with the rest of the footage later and post a link.
-
Steve, you were not alone in paying a visit to Beaverator. Fortunately no one had an extended stay. Dog leg has dished out some nasty breaks to swimmers. You came through unscathed. This is a great little stretch to test boat control and focus and get immediate feedback in terms of rewards and consequences when you are dialled in and when not. I've never really worried about Beaverator before and never had an issue with the squirrelly water above it. Yesterday was my reminder to pay attention. Doing laps also gives you the chance to improve on your last run. Great day!
-
Great day!
I think I left my water bottle in your car steph.

Steph?
I'll accept Stephen, or Steve, not Steph :)
Ya, I got the water bottle. I'll bring it to the AGM unless you want it sooner.
Shoulder is in bad shape, I should probably get it checked out. Although I'm sure all the doctor will say is rest, ice, and elevation...
Video of the day is up at:

Video of Seamus firing up Eagle coming soon.

"Firing up Eagle" is very generous :)
-
Works for me Steve... sorry, didn't know how you shorten it. :P
PS: great movie... you can pretty much see exactly where you lose steam on your second run ;)
-
Video makes all mistakes clear.
Swim on Dog Leg because I drove right too early and got hung up on the second flake rock, which explains the gouge in the rail on the right side of my boat that you pointed out.
Anyways, that first swim really screwed up my shoulder. Doing a high speed pushup on a rock face is not recommended. I saved my face, but as a result appear to have pulled a muscle in the shoulder (rotator cuff?) when I was rapidly pulled to the back deck.

Here's a quick edit of last Saturday's trip on the Beaver. Enjoy.

Frank,
Nicely crafted video, great music!
thank you,
Seamus
-
Thanks for sharing vids Steve and Frank. Steve, I hope you heal up quick!

Seamus, did I spot a very expensive paddle in two pieces after the 2nd slide Eagle? Ouch, looked painful... --C.
-
yep, fortunately (or not) Mountainman had a Shogun on sale 20% off, U$360
Physical damage to me was limited to skinning my knuckles, because I scrapped done on paddle blade until the shaft exploded under my right hand. I am still picking carbon fibre splinters out of my hand.
