So what about an apres-whatever get together at Whispers anyway at around 2:30? It would be good after my x-country run ;D.

Thanks Jon,

I think 3 paddlers is really the minimum for safety in this weather so I'll check the posts in the morning and decide then.

Paul ;D

S'all good Christiang! Since I do need AT least two more experienced paddlers in order to go and no one has said definitely yes, I guess I'll pass too and wait t'il March...

Happy New Year Everyone!

Paul

Was there too today. Nothing at Champlain, I saw the rocks at the bottom where the wave would be. Sewer is 'in' if you're not picky, although the 3rd wave is nice but shallow and catch-on-the fly, plus you have to dodge ice chunks. Looks like I will pass this opportunity and wait for March... --C.

1:12pm just checked sewer Wave. It's in! Actually it's green but very surf able with crashing wave above and crashing wave below which might actually be better!
Directions: take Champlain bridge going towards Gatineau. At the end of the bridge, turn right at the lights on Lucerne Street. Drive about 1 kilometer to Begin Street, turn right again and drive to the end of street to the statue. You have arrived!

See you tomorrow,

Paul :)
Ps I also checked Champlain and it is flatish....:)
