Old-timers weekend on the Hiwassee
Posted: Wed Jul 22, 2009 9:26 pm
Interesting past weekend on the Hiwasee. I never saw so many boats putting on as I did Saturday morning, and I thought I had entered a time warp. I saw a lot of boats I hadn't seen for a while, at least not in one place, and a few I hadn't seen.
A partial list: Dagger Prophet, Blue Hole Suburst (I), Whitesell Pirhana, Whitesell Descender, Millbrook Big Boy, in addition to the usual Bell Ocoees and Prodigys, Dagger Impulses, Legends, and Encores, Mohawk Probes, and aluminum Grummans.
Me? I had a boring old Dagger Ocoee.
Some old kayaks too including a Dagger Outburst and Crossfire, Perception Corsica, Corsica S and Corsica Matrix, Noah Stratoquatic, and an old glass slalom K1.
Also ran into some of the Cookeville tribe, and it was nice to see some younger open boaters. You know, those not drooling and wearing Depends.
