SPRING ARMADA 2006

[Brendan]

I am enjoying reading about the progress of the MAVEN and comments about the possibility of that boat making the scene at a SPRING ARMADA. So I figure that I will start the thread-

what are release dates on the NB of Potomac and who is going to be there? Not that I plan to even attempt getting into the MAVEN but sure would enjoy the pleasure of paddling and visiting with the best group of boaters that I know. I am sure that I can once again talk Gunst into a road trip ( although rumor has it that anytime on the water these days is with a fishing rod amd a motor- can you roll a john boat ?)

So, who's up for it and when? (not mothers day weekend!)

[Sir Adam]

Any weekend will work except the first weekend in May (Whitewater Derby ya know ).

At this point I definitely plan on being there...not sure about AdkSara though...

Adam, should we do a poll like last year?

Here's the link to the campground that we used last year:

I can bring the following boats:
1/2" cut Acrobat
master cut Acrobat
full cut Viper
Big EZ
Forplay

Brendan, I don't know if you can roll a John boat, but I have seen 'em flat-spin on an eddyline at Weldon The look on the guy's face was priceless

Mike- I can see it now- a few good ol' boys in a John boat shoutin' "hey y'all, watch this!!" Famous last words.
