I'm definitely paddling the Ottawa probably main channel Wednesday July 13 meeting 297 Lanark Ave (NE Churchill & Scott) ~12:20 for car pooling before departure.  Best to telephone for confirmation if you wish to join.  Shuttle arranged.

So we have two!  If the level drops on the Ottawa then Mcoys becomes a fun easy option. 

So when we are talking Thursday are we talking pack a lunch kind of thing?  I am good for that as well.

I have paddled both rivers (Ottawa Main 4 times levels 1.5 thru 11, Middle 2 times, Gatineau 4 times levels 22 thru 12) this season. 

Whatever you are most comfortable with.  Gatineau is a nice paddle and there should be a wave with some level of eddy service on Loggers Dance (12.5).  11 should be better.

A couple of waves on river right of High Tension (navigate around a couple of small holes).

The Wall is a lot fun at this level.  The green tongue at high water disappears and you can try and surf the wall if you mind a little trashing coming off :)  Always the fun zig zig on river right to sneak it.

I am up for either.  The Gatineau is at 11, which is a nice level so I'm told. I don't remember after a summer of plus 5. I've tried to check if the water has gone done at the Ottawa. It is still two and a quarter which means there is nothing to play on if people are looking for that.

Hi Liz et al,

Definitely interested.  Are you considering Ottawa (middle, main, stay and play @ Mcoys) or Gatineau?  I am open to any.  I can provide a ride to Gatineau easily since I live in Wakefield.

I'm hoping someone is a better paddler than me.

EJ is, for sure...

I guess Thursday would be the best day as it is already Tuesday. Friday is not that optimal for me. I'm hoping someone is a better paddler than me. I'm thinking the Ottawa but want to know what others think.

Nope! The 148 is still getting fixed in two spots.. in Luskville and in Quyon! Will be a while too! They have a detour in Luskville on a side road and its 1 way at a time.. We stood there for 35 minutes waiting. In quyon its a bit quicker.. maybe a 10 minute detour? On the way back last Friday, I turned in Shawville..Took the 366 up to the 105 and then got out in Old Chealsea then back to Aylmer.

Hi
I am new to the club and am interested in doing some kayaking. I would be looking for something not  to difficult as I don't have a bullet proof roll. I an close to the Island Park. Thursday would be my preference but lets see what other are interested in.

Is anyone thinking of padding during the week? The river is down to two and a quarter. Hope it drops some more for a park and play.
