- Jacqueline Huard on 5/18/2012 5:22:27 PMUnfortunately due to the travel time I won't be coming, however I will be at Palmer Aug 4th-9th....
Kevin Maggs on 5/17/2012 2:49:56 PMThese are the results that I got from people at the HOHW after party. These are the unofficial standings and are probably subject to argument. I later matched up the names with the times. For instance, Phil Compass' time could not be found that night but I added it in now. This helped out the PRR's time. Big Surprise. There were some rogue number on CDB's sheet but that didn't match any times. I did my best to match them up but names could be wrong. I didn't see any times from McMaster Western or Georgian. 4 paddlers would be enough to post. Please add them in if you have them. If any other clubs are looking at these numbers, and I have made a mistake, please adjust them. Also keep in mind that pro boaters and team members are not part of king of clubs. KOC is a comp for Club boaters. So if I have included any of them in your times, please replace them with actual club boaters. We have made some exceptions with regards to single boaters that have started with a club but do not want the KOC to turn into an event where teams try to stack their roster with pro boaters. General rule would be someone that regularly paddles with you, learned to paddle with you, isn't on a slalom or freestyle team or sponsored. For instance, Matt Hamilton should not be able to race for KWP but seeing as it makes no difference to the standings there is no reason to argue. If however CDB had team boaters, PRR may have something to complain about. FYI Every GKC boater that place either learned to boat with the Guelph club or have been members for 20 years. Also worth mentioning is that during the after party Cale was sure that in order to place you had to have a woman boater in the standings. I couldn't remember the rule but Cale was using his Jedi Mind tricks to convince me. In the end he Cale checked the rules and could not find it in the official rules. However keep in mind that it may become a rule for next year. PRR deserves honourable mention seeing as they had two women place in the top 6. The only club to have any women place in the top 6. First place: GKC Joel B 7:18 Richard M 7:21 Kyle V 7:38 Kevin M 8:02 Art V 8:07 Rob S 8:09 Total 46:35 Second place: CDB Bruce S. 7:34 Ray C 7:38 Todd K 7:46 Jeff C 8:06 Jacques 8:23 Dave H 8:26 Total 47:53 Third place PRR Phil C 7:15 Cody 7:38 Sharon B 7:54 Mike B 8:07 Shaunna 8:34 Graham 8:55 Total 48:23 Fourth Place KWP Matt H 7:24 Cale R 8:17 Brett L 8:27 Ben L 8:27 Martin or Seamus ?8:34 Tom L 8:50 Total 48:32
- Kevin Maggs on 5/17/2012 5:34:25 PMFifth Place Western Jeff C 8:06 Graham 8:55 Joyce 9:19 Chrisitna 11:03 +11:03+11:03 Total 59.29
- Kevin Maggs on 5/18/2012 2:07:11 AMActually a big change up CDB time is 47:29 and PRR is 46:04 The hometown rats are in the lead.
Greg Foster on 5/17/2012 2:03:33 AMis anyone up to going to the gull river or the hollow river on saterday or sunday?

Terry Shaw on 5/13/2012 9:35:35 PMWell that was fun!!! I even stopped at Palmer on the way home and paddled for a couple of hours, water was high(just about covered piano rock). I even did a roll at the end of the day( in the bay ) and my shoulder felt fine. Come on the week-end, see you all then.
- Marcie Goldenberg on 5/14/2012 2:40:59 AMAwesome Terry. See you at Palmer!
Kevin Maggs on 5/10/2012 9:34:29 PMCale: Are we still betting on the raft race or do you want to bet on kayaking times instead?
- Kevin Maggs on 5/10/2012 9:34:53 PMOr are you tired of buying my booze?
- Todd Ames on 5/10/2012 9:48:00 PMBoth!
- Kevin Maggs on 5/11/2012 3:07:26 PMHmm No answer?????
- Kevin Maggs on 5/14/2012 1:51:46 AMI was just trying to mess with you. We didn't get a raft so you finally get to drink for free on me. We gave 24 PBR to Sue in our own special GKC way. Hope she appreciated it.
Greg Foster on 5/11/2012 10:28:53 PM.anybody going to the gull on sunday afternoon? its more fun + its safer with more people.

Terry Shaw on 5/7/2012 11:17:34 PMI'm looking for a ride from anyone going to HOHW on Friday night or Early Saturday morning ( I have to go by way of Carlton Place though).
Joel Brennan on 5/7/2012 1:13:29 AMhowdy, last year i forgot my green teva shoes at cales house after naked in november. Anybody find them?
- Cale Reeder on 5/7/2012 11:56:40 AMYes they wee there over the allotted time and someone else claimed them! check with Glen Porter
Kevin Maggs on 5/7/2012 12:19:26 AMThe gull clean up????? When members of the GKC volunteered for the Gull clean up, they thought they were going to clean up the campground. Evidently they were needed for cleaning up the various KWP garage sales.
Isaiah Galbraith on 5/5/2012 12:43:55 AMIs anybody going to the Gull this Sunday? I would love to have some fellow kayakers come and make it worth while!! I know the water has been low but I have been up a few times this year already, and as long as you have a strong brace, don't mind getting some scratches on your boat, its a blast! The more the merrier!! Comment if you are going please :)
- Colleen Mycroft on 5/5/2012 12:47:04 AMHey Isaiah, was suppose to go tomorrow but am sick in bed, if I can shake this I really want to go on Sunday. Will let you know tomorrow!
- Isaiah Galbraith on 5/5/2012 12:48:20 AMOk :) that sounds great!! Hope you feel better soon Colleene :)
- Isaac Verhoeven on 5/5/2012 2:11:35 AMI start work at boatwerks on sunday so I probably won't be available to paddle but you'll see me
- Isaiah Galbraith on 5/5/2012 2:24:28 AMok, Thanks :)

Colleen Mycroft on 5/1/2012 1:42:27 AMWhat paddling is going on this weekend?
- Emanuelle Manny Plourde Lawson on 5/1/2012 1:49:18 AMPost on KWP website but I think it's the Gull clean up on Saturday and a paddle if the levels are good!
- Jacqueline Huard on 5/1/2012 1:51:16 AMNo guys! Its high water on the Chilliwack this weekend! Should be pushing class 4 plus!
- Colleen Mycroft on 5/1/2012 1:52:48 AMJust got off the kwp site and saw the gull plan! Really want to paddle haven't yet this year! Nice jac!
- Marcie Goldenberg on 5/4/2012 3:18:46 AMI'm hoping to show up at gull but won't make it for morning. hope you're still there when i arrive!
Colleen Mycroft on 5/1/2012 10:41:49 AMHave to give up my space for Tough Mudder, kwp team needs one more person. MSG me if you are interested.
Isaiah Galbraith on 4/26/2012 10:06:12 PMHey guys, does anybody know of some whitewater near Magnetawan?
- Kevin Maggs on 4/27/2012 1:16:46 AMOxtongue and the Magnetewan from Ahmic lake down. But it is level dependant.
- Isaiah Galbraith on 4/27/2012 5:28:22 PMWhat are the best water levels? and are both of them dependant of the levels?
- Kevin Maggs on 4/28/2012 1:36:04 AMBest to ask that question on the Boaterboard. they even have a levels page where you can cheque. I think if the guage for the Mag is 26.2 to 26.7 it's good but really you should ask on the board.
Jacqueline Huard on 4/27/2012 12:15:17 AMHey just a MEC insider update...shred ready basic helemts at MEC are on for 35$ and the full face are on for 95....

- Kevin Maggs on 4/16/2012 11:41:47 PMLooked more like the KWP at Crystal except these guys saved each other.
- Susan Taffs on 4/18/2012 7:41:53 PMThe couldn't possibly be GKC. They only paddle the gorge and that river is definitely not the gorge.
- Patti Johnson on 4/22/2012 9:03:16 PMLot's of guts with the lack of bracing skills
Rob Clive on 4/14/2012 4:10:22 AMI don't think so.....that being said, get hooked up with Brett and Manny, and they will show you the way........Parry Sound has Nigh any water.
