Did I say thank you…Chucky/Keith…For the Boat Chasing…. and the coaching…:)
Meant to ask. how far did Mick’s boat go.
A New definition.
doing the gravy Yard,
Just the Boat=45%
Boat and a Paddle=5%
The boat, a paddle and the paddler in the boat=100%
Mick sent the Boat down the Gravy Yard twice. does that count as having done it 90%?

Impressive. The guy who did the rescuing. Didn’t hesitate. Jumped straight in. Awsom. The muppet who tried to swim across to get his paddle. Excellent video to. All along expected the paddler to do something stupid.

De-nile is river in Egypt. No video. Nothing happened. U just have bribe the witness.

cool… I am sure Keelan would be up for it..in any case he would need to get permission (in writing). I would like to propose a change to the club rules. allowing such events to take place. I can see the AGM will have some heated debates…
One problem..
Allowing for growth. the measuring stick ie Keelan would have to be re-calibrated on regular basis…

Rich and Tim already have the beginning of this info… I would say we all can add to the knowledge. May be even add a link to the WCC log from the Rain Chasers web site. because that has a lot of detail which does not need to be re written about the river. eg

Lucky beggars. .. I could have done with a cupa on Friday

[admin]

humm…. Just got the chance to read this….. tip 1) contradicts what I do. ie PLF when on feature. Must try control rather then speed.
tip 3) low brace… There is no mention of Learn to Roll, so that’s the first skill to learn.
