The weather's supposed to be nice Saturday and Sunday so I need to figure out which day I'm paddling. Have you got room for one more?

I've never paddled this late in the season, will I be okay in a drytop/farmer john wetsuit combo?

That's all I'll be wearing. With the air temperature being so warm, I expect I'll be rolling just to cool off. If the river is at the upper end of your skill level and you don't have a bomb proof roll, you may want to reconsider. Otherwise, come join us!

I'd never jinx myself by saying my roll was bombproof but in a half a dozen LJ descents and twice as many flips I haven't had to swim. (Maybe I jinxed myself anyway). I suppose no matter how bombproof your roll is you'll need to dress for the swim.


Anyhow, my hot water heater just died :evil: so I'll be working that tomorrow instead. Thanks for the offer. I'll try to catch the 11AM Sunday group.

I'll join you at 12:30 if I can arrange it My roll isn't bombproof, as I demonstrated last week, but at least I stayed warm. This time I'll bring a different boat.
