Coastals

Thanks for loosely coordinating, Ken. I plan to run the Gorge Saturday and Sunday.

I'd like to join you.

Good weather, good company, a little surfing, and lots of smiles! 16 paddlers put on the Upper James at a little over 5' - 15 K1's (one of them a racing boat!) and 1 IK . 2 first-timers, I think. Thank you to Jon Guy Owens for bringing a group of ladies from the Hollins Racing Club. Also, a thank yo...

Plan on just foolin' around on the Upper James. A nice spring warm-up run. For novice paddler's or those who are just getting their boats out of winter storage and want to get back in the paddling groove. First timers welcome, but let me know who you are. Plan to meet at Reedy Creek take-out by 11AM...

My thanks to Greg, Drew, Dave, Liz, Jackie, Patrick and Jon for coming out to provide experienced boaters for this (my) First Timers Trip. This support is what makes Coastals a great club! Special thanks to Sejal for inviting me and being my pilot. I had a fabulous time and only swam once! Probably ...

I plan to arrive Friday evening. Paddle Sat and Sun only. Eating in on Sat sounds good. I like John and Linda's pot-luck plan. I'll bring something to share. Dee

PLEASE NOTE: I changed this OCT to the UPPER AT NOON. For those of you responding, see you at Reedy if you want to run the UPPER.

Looking at the projected river level (~ 9'), I am going to post this change now to give folks who might be interested time to organize. I will lead a trip down the UPPER JAMES at NOON on SUNDAY. Meet at Reedy Creek for shuttle. Let me know if you are interested by posting here, via PM, or call me: 8...

What time were you thinking, Paul?
Dee

I can not make the 9 for the Upper BUT will do the Lower with you. What time should I be at Reedy to meet you? Can someone shuttle me back up from 14th after?
Dee

I am taking a couple friends down the Upper tomorrow. Meeting at Reedy Creek at 11AM. Let me know if you want to join us.

Dee

If you are OK on Class 3, kratriverrat, we meet at 14th St take out at 11.

I am in for 11, Shaggy!! Can't make 10, Nate.

I'd like to do a PFD on the Pass and/or a Combo with the Pools. Noonish. Where? PO? I will not be much help with the shuttle, though, since I am in a rental (lady totaled my car at Webster Fest). Not getting new boating wheels until Monday.
