Any of the GDI going to the upper & lower gauley this year?

I'm lookin' for a posse to help with safety & shuttles. The release schedule is significantly expanded this year. Would prefer to go up early next Friday & stay through the following Saturday, catching the new gorge on my way back south. Holler back if you can tolerate old schoolers like me. Thanks.

Chatooga III is goin off today!

Looking for 1 to 2 more boaters for fun & safety. Just a couple old OC-1 farts locked & loaded so far. Setting shuttle @ Hwy 76 bridge around 11 am; putting on @ Earl's around the crack-of-noon. Should have plenty of time for the basin to fill-in by then. Hoping for 3.5' to 5.5' ideally. Holler back...

Re: Any of you GDI / Waldensridge boys boatin' this week?

Thanks for your speedy reply. Unfortunately, I'm allergic to facebook; that kind of self-absorbed technological bs gives me the creeps. But I do want to go boatin', so if you don't mind cross-posting this to them, I'd certainly appreciate it. Until then I'll remain off &/or under the radar (on purpo...

Re: Vintage Wooden Gunwaled Dagger Ocoee Repair Questions

Thanks for the constructive posts Todhunter & Milkman. Chris - - not so much -- I guess that's why they call it the sucks? Still looking for advice & suggestions on the d-ring repairs. I've got some 2 part Loctite Marine Epoxy but I'm still concerned about the heat of the curing reaction cooking &/o...

Vintage Wooden Gunwaled Dagger Ocoee Repair Questions

Dudes! Some drunk-assed butt boater dropped my Ocoee off his truck racks & split the stern right end of my wooden gunwales. I've already dried it out in the house, backed-out the last several screws allowing it to straighten back out to make room for wood clamps, injected Elmer's Carpenter's Wood Gl...

River's rising! Who's going boating Wed 12/1?

Chatooga's already above 1.75' @ 10am Tues 11/30; with the additional rain in the watershed predicted by the NWS's Southeast River Forecast Ctr, it should peak well above 3'. While that's too high for me to open boat Section IV, it should be ideal for a relaxing day on Section III. Don't know how lo...

Old school OC-1 boater looking for Upper Yough OC-1 probe

New poster driving to Upper Yough on Thurs 10/7 afternoon. Ideally looking for another experienced OC-1 boater(s) that know(s) the lines & is willing to patiently show them to me on my Fri 10/8 first run. Assuming I don't eat sh*t too hard there, I'm planning on boating the Upper Gauley on Sat 10/9 ...
