Trip report-Main Channel on Saturday, Oct 3rd.

There were 7 of us who went down the Main Channel today, Pat, Louis, Larry, Robert, Dave, Jack and I. We all had a great time, the level was awesome and the poutine afterwards delicious.

The antics of a certain member with a brand new WaveSport Project 52 boat were worth watching! Attempted front loops, turned into Air Cartwheel's, multiple spins, blunts were amazing. The best part was watching this certain member negotiate rapids he usually aces, flip multiple times and that very special time at Junior Push Button wave where he flipped and had to try the roll up 4 times. Pat and I were certain that we were witnessing a very rare occurrence indeed. Would this be the one time where this certain member would finally swim.... :o?! NO...., sigh... ::) he ended upright. Oh well, next time I'm bringing the camera just in case. He did say he would quit his day job to camp out at the Lorne where he could hone his newfound hot playboater skills, try to get sponsored, join a hippie boaters commune, and most importantly practice his rolling skills ;D.

Some of these events may have been exaggerated somewhat... and some factual information may be the fruit of the narrator's vivid imagination, but not the rolling ;) or the Air cartwheel :o.

Paul ;D

I'll go. Not clear where do we setup shuttle. How about 9:30 at RR gate? If there is a different plan please someone clarify here (... or honk at the cars waiting at RR).
Robert

Bill and I will meet you at RR @ 9:30am ... and probably eventually the rest of the participants.

Rendez-vous point for me should be Eagleson park&drive
as I have to pick up my daughter at Saunders farm right after. 18h00 -> Opposite direction all the way.
I'll be driving to Manotick late this evening, have a short sleep, then open them eyes just enough to get to Eagleson on automatic.

Say 8h00am @ Eagleson Park&Drive.
Let's see if I remember to put the ramps somewhere...

I will keep you guys posted, still not sure on my plans but if we can get a trip together I'll do my best to be there!

Steph can't make it as she has an appointment that can't be missed, but I'm still thinking about going!

Keep me posted!
