Anyone going tonight? We could discuss weekend plans later. I have a ride for tonight, for a change... --C.

Re: Remic:

Right Mark. I seem to remember the river level to be lower than now too, in September 2007.

I'm still curious, wouldn't mind checking it out Thursday with a couple other adventurous minds...

Mark,

Where have you been? We miss you buddy!

I think the water is still  a bit to high for that ,  (walk up remic)  there is still lots of water pouring over the ledge at centre wave , usualy when this is dry remic is walk-up-able.

I live on the river in Dunrobin.  River level has hardly changed in the last 3 weeks.  It came up maybe 10 cm 2 weeks ago and went down again.  My guess based on references around my place is about 2.9 metres.

A suggestion: would anyone be interested in checking out Remic wave Thursday? We could drift down from Bate Island, surf a few times and walk/paddle back up. The idea is to find out if the level is low enough to do the circuit without getting off the river (the Britannia gauge is broken). Last night I checked the JJ wave at Deschesnes but the level is a bit too high for that playspot, from what I could see from shore.

Hi folks, just a reminder that Thursday Evening paddling is starting this May 27 and will go until mid-September.

Start time is around 6:00 PM goes until until dusk or you get tired/hungry/thirsty.
After which we usually head over to Whispers Pub in Westboro (corner of Tweedsmuir and Richmond)
Wings are on special Thursday nights and we get "team nachos" (courtesy of Paul)

The water is warm and the evenings are getting longer. See you there...
