One of our group broke a paddle in Phil's, had a swim and decided that he had had enough for the day.  Other people without gloves were feeling the cold, especially with the wind (trouble holding the paddle). 

Apparently the water was quite a bit colder from the week before (I had skipped a couple of weeks, and yeah, it was colder).  I was toasty in my drysuit, gloves and full head gear.  When I took off my head gear at Pushbutton to eat lunch I realized just how cold it was. 

I'm just saying, if you want to be comfortable when paddling (and maybe swimming) at this time of the year, especially if you are running the full river, dress for it!

Cheers,

Adam

Hey Adam ... I'm curious, what did we learn last weekend, and how?  (I'm considering going this weekend)  The weekend prior I was doing park and play with my fellas, and it was refreshing, but very warm and toasty with wetsuits / drytops ... has the water temp dropped that much?

btw, do you know the level at the moment?

I am planning to do something on the Ottawa this Saturday starting at 11am.  It could be the Middle, Main or park and play depending on people's interest.  Is anyone interested? 

As we learned last weekend, you must dress for cold weather and water (dry suits and gloves a good idea).  Swimming is not a good option and could make for a very long day!

Cheers,

Adam
