Ice is out, so is SPED

I finally feel like a kayaker again. After the longest dry spell in my kayaking "career", I got back on the water Sunday when Paul, Danny, Martin, Jim and I went up and got a cold lap on the Grasse. I got the pleasure of helping set safety for Danny and Paul to fire up Large Marge, which was interesting to say the least. It was surprising how nervous I was getting back into the boat. I didn't feel good on any rapid all day until the last one, which I have informally named Tricky Boof. I finally crushed a line and felt good about the way I ran it, just in time to get back in the car and drive the 4+ hours home. I hate being a kayaker in Rochester, and I have only been on 1 trip to the dacks. I told the boys we have to befriend someone who boats alot and lives up there so we only have to take one car (like these D-Bags did to me when I lived in P-dam). Then I can drink and sleep in the van the whole trip!

Anyways hopefully Danny will get a video together so I can throw a copy up here.

LaFlair,

I live in Lowville, and we always have couch space if you decide for a doubleheader in the dacks. Of course...it would be cool if I was back from school before you started taking advantage of the offer. Either way, it would be cool to boat with you guys again as soon as I get back.
