Lower James Friday Afternoon

Post by jules »

2 pm or later?

I have a buddy who hasn't kayaked in several years. He did then only several times in Class III/IV and he's still interested even though he was pinned underwater once. Has high lung capacity and little fear of water+rocks. No roll. I will only take him if it's under/around 6 feet.

Anyone want to go with us? Here he is:

Awesome - see you guys at 2 plus at least one more.

PS - if you have photos of you with a mullet, please bring them. I think we need a mullet contest. I'm looking for my old femullet photos.

I may make it over, from C-ville if you all don't mind my joining you.

I have done/ swam some rivers I had no business being on. I have a strong roll now. Paddled the Nantahala and middle Ocoee, a few weeks ago it will be nice to not have to drive 7+ hours to paddle. Its good to finally have some rain.

It’s not the goal in the end that makes life worthwhile; it’s the savoring the marrow of every moment.

Are you meeting at the put in and working out shuttle from there or the other way round?

You kids be careful out there, it's threating to hit 4 feet.
I used to be a paddler, now I just play one on the Innaweb.
