Well, I hope every one who participated or paddled had fun.

I had 2 afternoon sessions with my daughter and her boyfriend to introduce them to paddling.
On Sunday afternoon, we touched some current and visited McCoy.
Next class, this weekend in Valleyfield.

Clinics with Billy and Carly went well. We had 2 in the mornings.
I especially enjoyed the Sunday morning one with a LOT of great tips and teaching on the S-Bend wave.
It was also great to see Annie and Tibor making such progress on the wave.

We had a good group of paddlers around the fire on Saturday evening and overall the weather was cooperating sufficiently...

I think Annie was the only one bringing in ribs to honor Bill's memory of a rougher winter...
Moving on... ;)

Pretty sure I'll be heading up tomorrow AM (Sunday).  Have not seen any posted start time
for Sunday AM, so I figure meet at River Run at 10AM.  Anyone interested in carpooling from
the Eagleson OC Transpo at 8:30 or other west end locations give me a buzz today at
613-823-4385

I won't be able to go until Sunday (at best) - any thoughts on what time folks are planning on getting on the water Sunday?

Cheers,
Ceilidh

I feel like I'm coming down with something today so I'll stay home and rest tonight, but may show up tomorrow if I feel better.

Looks like I may be the first one there (that would be a first.....). I'll set up on the upper section (the paddlers meadow). I'll have a green tent....I'll also have a dining canopy (blue) that you can sit under, with a few chairs......My car will be at the put-in......

See everyone soon....


Cheers,


Chris

Last year's Beast was held at Paddlers Meadow (13 on the map) and we were camping in the middle of the field to the right of the entrance (as you drive in). I think this is the upper one isn't it? If I am terribly wrong please someone clarify as I don't want to cartwheel my tent in the middle of the nite :)


You are correct in that we camped on Paddlers Meadow for Beast feast ...  Actually it is the usual place for boaters to camp since the areas near the pavilion is more of less filled with rowdy rafters

As for a flag/banner for the CdB ... great idea. Anybody know a where to get one made up.

Hi,
I am going tonight, but got hold up at work (potluck). Depending on traffic I expect to be at RR around 6:30 or 7:00. Last year's Beast was held at Paddlers Meadow (13 on the map) and we were camping in the middle of the field to the right of the entrance (as you drive in). I think this is the upper one isn't it? If I am terribly wrong please someone clarify as I don't want to cartwheel my tent in the middle of the nite :)

We should have a CDB flag or something like that for events like this one. I'm also planning to get there tonight probably around 8PM. Like I said before, I only went to River Run for take out and bath room. I'll try to locate you one I get there.

Hi Louis,

I've usually seen the trailers on the upper section - Usually the lower section is filled with "gorbies", but I'm fine anywhere.....more room up top though, so I may venture there. I'll send you a message though once set up....


Cheers,

Chris

Change of plans for me.....I'm heading up tonight (Friday) and camping...will be at McCoy's around 6pm......
Wondering where to set up camp....where is everyone camping tonight? the upper section, or the lower section....

I think that Annie, Robert, Christian, Sara, Dominique are all camping Friday evening.
But likely to get there after you, I would guess...

I'll bring a tent and tent trailer for my gang.
Hope to set up in the lower section, but might be restricted by local marshal as to where I set up the tent trailer (which does not need any connection).
I may get there by 21h00.
Inquire about tent trailer hand rolled to the lower section and send me a SMS to 613-299-0997 for your final location.
