First boat had a good lazy run.  A short trip on the town section was a good place to find a major leak in my drysuit.

Are people staying for the dinner Saturday? We are debating if we bring our camping gear or not for Saturday evening.
I am, and I'll be spending the night either camping in my tent or car at Black Bear Campground. It was a pretty good scene there a few years ago when I camped at this event; a little rough in the morning but the cold water eventually fixed that.

So our raft team's registration time is at 1:00 and the boatercross is also supposed to start at 1:00; Hmmmmm!

I will be heading up quit early in the morning as I plan to do atleast one run in a hard boat and I want to scout etc. it would e nice to do the slalom run, but ?????  SYATR

Just received this message from HOHW.

Captains: PLEASE CIRCULATE TO YOUR TEAMS!

 

Thanks once again for your interest in Hell or High Water.  Everything is shaping up nicely for an awesome day on the water. The water levels are right about perfect and the warm weather this week has brought up the water temperatures nicely.

 

No changes to your start times, but the schedule is attached just in case you lost it. Please be sure to arrive at registration one hour before your first lap to ensure that you are checked in, dressed and prepared for the race.

Payment is cash only, $150 per raft which includes your wetsuit. Please meet and register as a team, it makes things easier for us.

 

The weather forecast is terribly inaccurate…  Im sure it will be hot and sunny.  Just in case though, please bring warm clothes for before and after the race. A thermal shirt may also come in handy.  IN terms of footwear, you can rent wetsuit booties for an additional $10, or just wear old sneakers so bring some dry footwear.

 

As always, there is a full day of fun at HOHW, including free SUP demos, canoe and kayak races, climbing wall and kids inflatables, vendors and of course the dinner/awards party.  It’s a big BBQ dinner at the Legion, $10 gets you lots to eat.  We’ll have live music, raffles and announce the final times.

 

All the funds raised through HOHW8 are being shared with Whitewater Ontario, and the Deep River and District Hospital Foundation.

For a chance to win a $1000 gift card to Trailhead Paddleshack see www.hohw.ca/raffle

See you on May 14!

Roger Élizabeth.  Don't forget we'll be having a late dinner. So make sure to be able to survive until 7 or 8 since it will depend when Mark and Jini arrive.

Awesome! Black bear campground will be open. :)

I am too lazy to bring food to cook so I'd like to join you guys for supper Luc. I'll message you when I get to Petawawa but plan on arriving around six as well.

Definitely wouldn't mind camping. That's how we did the upper section last time. I can do stealth camping too if Black Bear isn't open...

2 years ago when I did camp, they did have a fire and lots of people around it. I had the feeling KWP were the reason there was a fire, wouldn't be surprised if they do it again.

Sounds like we should get a barbecue or bonfire going Friday night.

Edit: No need to wait for the KWP, when the CdB is there already Luc.  Philip said he'll have wood.
