Chute-out and Stonycreek
It’s almost time for me to head west for a couple months, but this weekend I had some events to attend to closer to home- MD Chute-out and the Stonycreek Rendezvous. A busy weekend for sure, but a lot of fun and some good results.
On my recent trip south in search of warmer water (more on that later), I got the chance to play with the Maelstrom some more when I was in Rock Island. I'm really happy with the way the boat came out, it does a little of everything pretty well. I also finally got to try out my PeakUK squirt drydeck on the river- and after paddling the boat for as long as my feet could take it, there still wasn't enough water in the boat for me to notice.
So I had this grand plan to head to Alabama to go to the NAWF. Then it rained. A lot. So divert to Fayetteville hit the dries at 50,000 cfs. And Manns Creek too. Anyway, here's some video from the Dries. New River Dries from Jeremy Laucks on Vimeo.
It's been cold and the river has been up. Time for some winter Holtwood. I also got a new HDV camera, so I've been shooting with that, and figured I'd put together a little video and try hosting it on Vimeo. I'd be interested to know what people think about doing it this way.
