Weekday Paddlers

Post by qsjones »

I work most weekends, usually off Mondays-Wednesdays. Looking to befriend some local people who paddle those days and could help show me some rivers, up to class III water. I plan on taking one weekend off a month for an organized Coastals float but the majority of my boating will be the beginning of the week. Happy paddling guys! feel free to PM or reply here

I can paddle some week days as well and would be interested so I'll follow the posts. Seems whenever I post things go sideways and I can't make it.

Tuesday it is. I am new to all Virginia rivers so everything will be a PFD for me. What are you thinking Dake?

Tuesday 3/6

Post by jdb777 »

Usually not available for much weekday paddling but it's Spring Break, and I prefer chilly whitewater to sun and sand. I'm available all week, and I'll jump in on a run Tuesday.

Balcony Falls, Maury, Bullpasture should all be running Tuesday, so anything is fine with me. I'll stay tuned to see what the decision is.

Spring break for me too. I would be interested in a Tuesday run anytime after 10. It would be a pfd for me as well.

Tuesday paddle

Post by Dake »

Hi guy's. The Maury is holding water well.Lets meet at the post offfice at 11;30. Got a unknown group, so I am thinking of putting in above lava falls and take out at copper rd. Couple of class three's and lots of 2+.Open boats will need flotation, and dress warm.We should be in the water by 12;15 and have the warmest part of the day.Probably off the water by 3;30. Right now ,here in Craig its snowing and blustery.Wednesday looks to be in the upper 60's, and Balcony is raging...we will talk of thisw on the river....Dake 540 864 6704
