Well Jon, the Yaque del Norte is a little high, equating to just below bridge level. My shuttle gets here at 2:00 pm. I will paddle the Puente Amarillo to La Peña section. About 17k. Downriver pace all the way. Only 1 mandatory eddy…. I live in La Peña, so a nice healthy Ice cold Rum and Club Soda with lime awaits my run ! Wish you were here !…[Read more]

Corsica – Matrix – Super Sport ?

I meant CKS not CRS ….

Really, what a great kid ! I have fond Memories of slackin with Jim… You could always count on him to show at the river. Just way too young !!

What colour is it ? Will you pay for shipping ?

We used to run it all the time years ago. Do you know Raymond B. (Now in North Carolina) ask him to tell you the Story of “The Hero of Lusk Creek” … a wonderful story !!

A favorite tradition ! I remember my first one with you at 37″….. I was terrified, until we got going ! We had 13 paddlers. Truly a night to remember ! You and Perfesser and Slim always got me to push my limits !! I miss you my brothers .. Had a nice solo Birthday run on the Yaque del Norte today.

That is my Haitian girlfriends nickname ! Have fun at the races Perfesser !! I would love to go get a Ribeye with you at the OSH ! Miss you my friend …. Sure would like to win one of those Special Medals in the Downriver !!

Yo, Chris !! Try to save me a few XXL – SS TEE’s for this summer ! Special Medals indeed …🙄

Crazee Jerry, miss paddling with you my brother ! We did it for a whole lotta years !! One of these days, I will sneak up on you buddy ! Freddie

Drysuits ! Ha !!

As I was reading this, I was thinking of that exact story Bilbo ! I was racing across that field trying to get ahead of you guys ! Tie em on like you mean it !! I always use rope…. Who was it that had the line, “I don’t trust anybody who uses straps” I always got a kick out of that !

Done it many times. Usually duct tape Cardboard with personal and flight info on each end. They charge you as an extra bag and they go through where the Golf clubs and skis go. Have also used bags for a breakdown. You will pay …

I will be in America for Christmas. Hope to paddle wiff my homies. Still have a Creeker and a Play boat there. Now if there was just water !?!? Heading out to paddle the Yaque del Norte this morning. Great level, crystal clear water and sky. 81o and water 75o ….. Still waiting for homies to regain their sense of adventure travel !!

Yes, Jon, Come towards the light my friend…. Enter the World of double bladed bliss !! You can be a Hero in a Hero ….🏄🏿🌴

Too bad that most newer paddlers with the MWA have not gotten to experience the Russell Fork river. It used to be a regular MWA Trip with a great turnout. This is a major accomplishment by a boater that started as a kid on the Saint ! Felicidades Jim !!

Atta Boy ! Slackerz rule !! I would have been there with you buddy … Paddled here and going in 1 hour again today. We have had soo much rain here for October. It has been a fine autumno boating season. A little chilly though ! Forecast high is only 80o here in the Mountains. See you this Winter Levi …

I have a small bottle that Eli left here last Christmas. I use it sparingly to forestall itz demise ! I have not found a source here. Gone are the jdays of a head to toe tingling body scrub ! A gallon !! My kingdom for a gallon ….
