Saw the strainer in question today, near boulders just above Nicholville bridge. I almost went near it but Marc Laberge pointed it out to me. It was extremely hard to see, as it was black and just below the surface. Marc rode over it as he was hitting it straight up, but if you were hitting sideways, you could be pulled under. Thankfully there was only material damage yesterday!

For those interested, I broke my paddle ont he St-Regis yesterday. I was informed that I went under a strainer (had no idea!) and broke it somewhere in there.

I decided to post a quick blog post on this experience and it includes the video! Hopefully everyone learns something, strainers can be really hard to spot! http://onlineluc.com/blog/2013/4/14/a-close-call-on-the-st-regis-river-a-broken-paddle-ny-video

That's a lot of pressure...perhaps you don't know me that well;). It is looking awful out.

Everyone realizes that just b/c we are going south doesn't mean will have balmy weather, right?

Sandra,

Don't forget the sunscreen and sunglassses and while you're there, if you see a palm tree, can you bring me back some fresh coconut?

Paul  ;D

Marty is not. That's why I said "Steve Taylor (newest CdB member) as well as Martin Savard"

But I'm trying to persuade him.

Awesome!

OK, so Steve Taylor (newest CdB member) as well as Martin Savard want to come along. They will meet me at my place (82 Chesapeake Crescent) since we will be carpooling together in my car. Bill, I'll call you tomorrow morning to confirm your departure time.

Since when is Marty part of cdb?
