Hey that was an impressive number of paddlers on the river. I would like to thank also those paddlers who showed people the way, encouraged, rescued, helped with gear etc. to keep it all fun and safe... like Larry, Jim, Jack T., Christian, Jon, Sean, Luc. I know that personally I owe a few beers. If you are new to the club you have already seen that the $20 annual fee is an unbelievable deal.

Kelly

Well said Kelly. I echo your sentiments.

Well, I did my best at showing all the lines... but one line (i.e. Lower No Name) may have been missed by one person and that person may or may not have swam the rapid on the RIGHT of the big island that is usually on the right as you go down Lower No Name.

I apparently discovered there is a "line" down this rapid as I tried to chase my buddy. He can probably speak to the rockiness, but from the marks I saw on his body afterwards, I can confidently say that it's pretty rocky Thanks to Richard for helping me down this rapid as he was my eyes from the shore since I ran it "blind".

hi

Well that was fun ... the weather forecast and the observed were quite different.
Since half the club was on the river, a short trip report seems pointless.

Thanks to Barbara and Dirk for hosting the BBQ at their house.

See You On The River ... at some time during the paddling season.

Anyone want to share a ride from the west end, Queensway Terrace / Britannia area?

[Larry W]

I guess Google failed French.
See you tomorrow 
... levels dropping to 10ish on the gauge ... Angels Kiss should be great.

Est-ce que le sens de changement de vent chaque et tous les jours?

Is that from Google translate? I get what you are trying to say here, but it make no sense ;o)

Hmm ...waiting for Sandra?

I am waiting to see what Sandra's plans are. If she leaves from Ottawa on Saturday, I may drive with her, otherwise I am not sure yet if I'll try to meet with people at Eagleson or just drive from home and meet at River Run. I would assume the second is more likely.
