OCT April Fool's Paddle

Let us know how it went! Swim confessions and carnage reports are welcome, but it's not fair to tell on your buddies!

OCT April Fool's Paddle

Post by Dee P »

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 you to Marv and Amy Sowers and Sejal Kinker for helping out.
At Reedy we adjusted our compliment of boaters - saying adios to some and adding others to put on 8 craft for the Lower run. Wade Kinker in his shreadder provided photo documentation while Sejal styled it in her new (to her) race boat. The rest of us just had a darn good time!
Hope to see you all on the river soon!!

Great job Dee!
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming....WOW What a ride! . . . . . Trying to live up to this, Priceless. As long as you have good insurance!
