Midwest Demo 2009

Well ... the rain and fog was replaced by wind that was gusting upwards of 30kts this year. This made for an interesting afternoon. I think the canoes had the hardest time with the wind. Our safety boaters did an outstanding job, as usual. Many thanks guys!


When things were slow we had a few of our dedicated rollers checking out the water, Ron S from Novorca Paddles brought the boat he and Alex Pak built this Winter. They were pleased do find out how nice the boat handled the wind. I'd like to spend a little time in this boat this Summer.

A side note: There were 350 people that signed in and tried out boats at the demo! Wow!

Nice. We have a demo day today, and it's supposed to drop to 40F with thunder stuff. Timing.

Hi Dick, You are correct ... I have been neglecting my blog for quite some time. It's been on hold while I work through some things in my life. Summer is here though and I will do my best to keep things going.
I did start a "SmugMug" photo site, and will be adding photos. There is a link on the blog for it.
