Paddlers' Rendez-vous

[Ken Corbett]

Back in the voyageur days, the paddlers used to get together once a year for a Rendez-vous. Old friends would meet, new friends would be made, and tales told over many late-night campfires.

Do you think a Rendez-vous could be held here? It would have to be loosely organized, and whoever could show up would, and if you couldn’t, you wouldn’t.

It would be a blast to have a trip down the Miramichi, for example, to meet new paddlers and see the old gang again….

Or any other river. Any ideas? It could be on a lake, too, Spednic is a great camping lake. It would have to be June on a river, depending on rain, but anytime if on a lake.

Tossing the idea out there.

Yeah that sounds great Ken. Just about any weekend sounds good to me. Let me know if you are looking for a partner on any of the new runs you're planning this year. I know you said you are going solo more this year, but I am pretty much game for anything.

Hi Ken. That is a great idea! Count me in. I agree with Spednic, as there are many paddling options in the immediate area- Wauklahegan/Modsley, St. Croix River....

Geat idea, me and my wife are new to the area and looking for paddling buddies, it would be a great opportunity for us!
