We hope to see a big C boat contingent!

Natalie and I could use lots of hands to help with Riversport, please consider coming a day or 2 early.

Mods, could we please have a sticky?

Thanks

Most likely will miss Dog Days - Taking the boys to Valley Falls that Sunday for the "learn how to live going over water fall" clinic .... and to see if Jeff P. can make them cry!

Folks Dog Days is a great event if you want to give Slalom a try. Very user friendly course and overall event...

As for Riversport... working on getting the OC slalom boat finished. Not sure who will race it but Jacob ask where the slalom C1 was (under the deck)!

I think they had fun last time!

Nat - Good luck at Dragon Boat Nationals! Keep us posted on outcome!

Natalie:

The Coraor Clan is going to have to miss Dog Days this year. My wife is scheduled for neurosurgery at Sloan-Kettering this Wednesday. If all goes well, I'll probably be bringing her home from the hospital on either Saturday or Sunday.

We'll keep Riversport in mind, but will have to see how her recovery goes before making any commitments.

My high school cross-country team will have their first race that day and then my wife and I (sans child

) will be picking and eating crabs. Them's my priorities.

Have fun, go hard, get video.

If you're planning on coming to the Riversport Slalom Clinic/Race and haven't mailed your registration form yet please send me an email with your intent and classes so we can figure out possible attendance numbers. We need more registrations to make it worth all of the work involved.

Thank you,

Natalie
