Topic: Anyone paddling tomorrow (saturday)?

[Sean]

I'm planning on meeting people at the put-in, but I've got lots of room in the car if there are any (far) West-end paddlers that want a ride.

If anybody is passing by parkdale Ave. on the way, could I get a ride?  I'll check my messages later but my cell phone # is 613-255-6267.

I would be interested but need to be back around 5, I can drive if needed but can only take 1 passenger in VW bus but could probably fit 2 kayaks plus my own.

Ok,

I'll meet with you guys. Christian, I can get you. I would live my place around 8h15 so I would be at your place around 8h45. What is your address again?

You can confirm with me later tonight: 819-778-8555.

Adam, you don't need to buy beer. After I saw you paddling at Champlain, I'm sure that you could give us many playboating tips...

Grahame, I will call you tonight to see if you have room for Adam and me.

Or Annie, are you going? Do you have room for me?

Someone else?

Grahame can i ride with you i will pay my part of the gas because i cant buy the beer i have a small boat and allstar...

[GrahameH]

WT take out at 1030 should do.  There shouldn't be much raft traffic, but several university clubs are up for the weekend. 

As for carpooling.  I could take another small boat as of now.  I'm sorting out my roof racks and could be able to do more...  Check back to see if i'm successful

[paddler Adam]

im good to do somthing tmorrow if its the middle or somewere else but if it out of town i would need to carpool

[ChristianG]

Hey!

I'm up for something Saturday too! The main channel is a bit big at 5, but the middle is still fun at that level.

I've done the Rouge, but my recollection of it is so vague as to be completely useless. I would definitively only go there with someone who knows it... What I remember of the Seven Sisters (i.e. Canyon) section at lower levels, if you walk the Sisters themselves (big waterfalls), is that it's a is pool-drop-pool Class II to IV run, and the big stuff can be avoided/portaged easily. For instance, next to the Washing Machine, there's a sneak run called the Dryer. Plus the Washing Machine is a body surfing spot, once we all jumped repeatedly into it, canonball-style, so it's not such a big deal if one swims there...

Anyway, I would love to pay for gas/food/beer if someone gives me a ride, any river!

Contact: 613-355-2470, and I live at 87 Goulburn in Sandy Hill.

I am bound tomorrow morning (Sat) in taxiing my kids around in the early morning (8h00-9h00) and then at 16h30 to pick them up.
So, park&park could be an option for me, but what is interesting at that level?

We should be able to run Onion Ring if below 7 (I know! all those boils remind me of onions not metal).
Is Baby Face interesting at that level? I doubt.
Are Angel's Kiss and Butterfly interesting?
I recall the day earlier this summer when the level dropped from 7.5 down to maybe 3 and Angel's Kiss was almost non existent when we got there.
Blacks might be on?

Anyway, Park&Play on the upper Ottawa seems dicy to me.
With the levels going up in town as well, I wonder if Sewer wave will be back sufficiently...Britannia seems to be a 3.2 and rising.

If it's Middle or Park and Play, then I would like to go too, but I don't want to do Main nor stuff that I don't know.

[Annie V.]

I never did the Rouge... and I don't know about Hole Bros.

I'm hoping for something that will get my confidence back since my last trip was not my best but I'm open to destination with maybe a little (very small tho) preference for the Ottawa.

Annie

[GrahameH]

Lets,

The Ottawa level is back up to 5 (on thursday), so Middle Channel playboating is a possibility. 

There's also interest in the Rouge and Hole Bros too

[Annie V.]

Hi,

Is there some people interrested to paddle tomorrow? The weather is supposed to be nice.
