This week we will return to our standard trip on the George Waashington Canal. Meeting time is 9:00 at the Violettes Lock parking area. Please advise Wayne McDaniel (macinmd1@gmail.com), 443 542 8779) if you plan to join. The predicted Little Falls gage is 3.5‘, a good level for this river section. The weather forecast is intermittent clouds with a high in the low 80s, a welcome relief from the record heat recently. PFDs are required for all. Helmets are required for kayakers using spray skirts and highly recommended for all others. Airbags are strongly encouraged for boats without other means of flotation. If you need safety equipment, please advise the trip coordinator.

This is the second in a series of four Sunday morning clinics. This should suit you if you are eager to paddle, though may feel that you are not as ____ as you once were due to inactivity, age, illness, or whatever else sometimes dampens your true lioness. We will practice rolling, work on high-and-tight eddy catching, looking for and executing nice s-turns, surfing and the ubiquitous challenge of hucking a boat on one‘s vehicle. We‘ll meet at Violette‘s Lock for the second time: if we receive crazy heavy rain, we will announce an alternate meeting place by Thursday evening. We may head to the Shenandoah Staircase section for session 3 or 4.

Hildy F. will lead a trip on the lower Antietam Creek or the GW Canal on Sunday Morning. Antietam creek is favored to provide more shade and give a bit more variety, but it is water level dependent. A decision will be made later Saturday. Meeting time is 8:15 am either way. Possible Thunderstorms will also be monitored. Please advise Hildy (hferraiolo@gmail.com) if you plan to join. PFDs are required for all. Helmets are required for kayakers using spray skirts and highly recommended for all others. Airbags are strongly encouraged for boats without other means of flotation.

We‘ll put in at and paddle from Angler‘s Access to Lock 10, finding opportunities to continue to work on our technique at Offut Island, Yellow Falls and Stubblefield Falls. 8:30 - Setting shuttle. It would be great to have some assistance with this: meet up at the Angler‘s Access lower lot. https://www.canaltrust.org/pyv/anglers-parking/ Look forward to seeing you!
