Monday, August 29 Ran the Na'Sis Stream with the Sandwith Farm Gage Showing just over 0.7m and water ankle deep on the Estey's Bridge Footing. A pile of trees across the Stream, and a few new channels have been cut. At those levels you better have your back paddle working, your cross-bow draws drawing, your angling to get on the inside of turns working, and a good jacket jacket on. On the water by 7pm and off by dark but did not play as much as we wanted. We jump out at the Ring Road near the solar panel and fish ladder culvert. The Crew... - Mikey G. in a Dagger Ovation. That thing is looking beat up Mike! - Paul M. and Bethie J. in a OT Appalachian. - Sammy and Ann H. in a OT Cascade. TUESDAY, AUG 30 Ran the Na'Sis again because it was just that good. I was surprised as there was still good water. Sandwith Farm Gage showing 0.6 m to 0.57 m and the water was 3 inches from top of Estey's Bridge Footing. Stream offered many more chances to "eddy in" with more of the boulders showing now. On the water by 6:10pm and off by 7:40. Played ourselves silly. Check out the trip map and stats on speed and time on Trimble's "All Sport GPS". It is only a $10 app for the Blackberry and is a pile of fun. www.trimbleoutdoors.com/ViewTrip/1292008The Crew... just Sammy and Annie as the rest of the gang had other plans (Mikey G. Oromocto River, Paul M. and Bethie J. plus Danny Boy B. to the Eel) Check back as PICS TO FOLLOW Sammy Solo

GG:
No idea "who" but understand it was a 911 call.
When we were unloading boats on Monday someone came out of the house on the corner at the put in to gave us a heads up about the rescue.
"Yakers"... as I understand it but dont know the type of kayaks.

I hope no one was hurt. Paddlers all down the coast are getting into trouble.
Going up north on the Labour day weekend for a 3-day trip with Biff and Pete ... haven't run this river several dog's ages. Packing already!

You're in for a big surprise... If you go out in the woods today ... You'd better go in disguise.
