Hi All,
I'm planning on heading out to Champlain tomorrow Friday 19, around 2:30pm to try to remove some of the branches from that broken tree limb which are blocking the entrance to the first wave. With the level rising (~3.6!) it will only become more difficult, so it needs doing now.
Rick is going to assist, but the more the merrier and maybe we can get a bit of paddling in afterwards. I've got a branch saw/snipper on one of those extendable pole thingys, and a hand cutter, hopefully they will be suitable to cut the most offensive branches. We'll use a rope to pull them free of the eddy if needed. The larger stuff will have to wait for NCC, unless someone has and is willing to use a small chainsaw.
I was there today, looking not surfing, and there was a fair bit of ice coming down, some actually getting trapped in the branches. Nasty view of seeing a strainer in action.
If anyone is free tomorrow, it should be entertaining to watch if nothing else..
Cheers,
John
