The Algoma Paddlers Canoe & Kayak Club

Sorry folks, but due to the prolonged high flow in the Little White River we have to cancel or delay this outing.  Water is still in the bushes along the banks and gravel bars are under water.  We will see if another date will work, and let you know. Ray

Wally and Sandra ran a very successful ORCKA Voyageur Canoe Level 3A Trip Leader Course last weekend with 15 participants!  We did some C-turns and S-turns, ferries, and peel-outs in the current below the Blind River dam, as well as a self-rescue in the Montreal Canoe and a canoe-over-canoe rescue (North canoe over a Montreal canoe).  Kudos to all the participants for their hard work!

Special thanks to Gary, our Equipment Director who ably coordinated repairs to get these canoes ready for transport, and to Jim, Marc, Kevin, and Sandra who assisted with repairs. Also thanks to Marc (who obviously has perfected backing up trailers in spite of his attestations to the contrary), and to all the power lifters who made the Canoe Move possible on a perfect day -  Gary (and Natalie), Marc, Jim B, Lisa, Ray and Cindy L, Keith and Cindy Bowser, Warren, Mike, and Jim + Joanie Lindamood, were all there along with Sandra, her brother-in-law Stuart and I to make for 16 of us - and just enough to manage without broken backs... Thanks also for the food, Joanie and Cindy - it was an unexpected and welcome addition! What an awesome group of people to share rewarding time with! Wally
