Will try to hook up with Jorden at the pump house.
I have never been there and would like some help with directions.

Thanks Allan

I highly recommend pumphouse over champlain for those that want to paddle tomorrow night... More variability at pumphouse, and this evening the level was quite high, making for some good edging and transition practice, challenging attainments, and even a couple of surfs. The new wave sucks btw. Poorly "designed" and poorly placed! (...Illegal too...) But interesting nonetheless. Really dynamic eddies and current transitions. 

I was there tonight and will probably be there tomorrow again around 5:00/6:00ish (tending to be later in the evening than earlier, but that might change). If they do the same thing as today, the water will probably be turned off until somewhere between 4:00 or 5:00 or so, but I don't know the exact time. If I'm there, I'll be paddling an orange and grey Pyranha Loki.

Fell of my push-scooter last night after the Netherlands-Argentina game at Elgin Street, the 1 beer + water was NOT the cause, just carelessness crossing the eddy line from sidewalk to road :-[   My doctor this afternoon advised NOT kayaking tonight, or this weekend even if the x-ray tomorrow (Friday) does not show a fracture.

I one-hand loaded my kayak into my Forester this afternoon intending 2CU (to see you) all at Bate Island and Whispers if paddling even gently would be OK. No go, c'est dommage.

Should anyone want to have a clinic with Joey Hitchins, phone Liquid Skills 613-582-3340 or email   DL@liquidskills.com (Lisa).

Have good safe fun times tonight & this weekend,

Denzil
