I'm planning to be out Sunday at 11:00 with the usual crew. You can plan on at least a small cast of paddlers on Sundays at 11. Weekday paddles are out for me until the time changes again or we get enough water to make me want to blow off work.
Hey James. 2 pm Saturday would work for me. That said... last Sunday was only my second time down the Lower. I am reasonably confident in my abilities, but I am still learning this section of the river.
If you're comfortable paddling with somebody at my experience level, let me know and we'll figure out the details.
So it sounds like a group of regulars will be out there Sun at 11. Keep an eye out for me at the takeout, blue Subaru Forester and tall with bald/blonde hair and beard. Recently moved to Charlottesville, so I dont know a lot of the folks. I'd like to join if thats cool.
I'm one of the Sunday regulars- look for my silver Dodge pick up with a blue canoe on top- I look forward to meeting you folks and showing you the lower James
Yep... turns out that I had some stuff to take care of tonight and tomorrow night but I will be there sunday and if anyone wants to paddle monday we can work something out!
I'll see you kids at the takeout at 11am on Sunday.
Generally, I think that if I have the opportunity to paddle, and I've got something else to do or I feel like I shouldn't go for some reason, then I force myself to go and I always have a great time. So, I guess when in doubt -- Go, Paddle. -- Tommy Hilleke
