2013 Sydenham Canoe Trip:



It’s been a very busy year for most of us..
and our Sydenham Canoe trip is on once again for 2013, and it’s all going down this weekend.
The roster this year has been under some great changes. People dropping in and out, some have work or have other issues and can’t make it, which allowed us to add some new unprepared nitwits who have no clue what’s in store for their weekend of hurt.

Ready for the biggest canoe trip roster ever?
I’m not sure any of us are, but we’re trying it.

Usually once you have a “partner” for this trip, it doesn’t change unless
someone can’t make it, then there is a sub-in for that year… this year,
there are so many changes, drop outs, additions that we’ve really messed with the groupings..

As the groups stand so far.. in order of importance (j/k n/r haha)
Philip (4th Attempt) & Kenny (5th Attempt)
Kevin (6th Attempt) & Adrian (2nd Attempt I think)
Randy (4th Attempt) & Josh (Unsuspecting 1st year nitwit)
Pat (Unsuspecting 1st attempt nitwit) & Troy (Unsuspecting 1st attempt
nitwit)

That’s right… 8 people.. most ever.
That’s right… 4 canoes.. most ever.

It’s going to be interesting to say the least.

Weather Forecast (Alvinston Weather Link) (the following is forecast at time of writing this):
- Friday, High of 15C, Low of 6C, Light Rain 5mm
- Saturday, High of 5C, Low of 0C, Cloudy
- Sunday, High of 6C, Low of 2C, Cloudy
As you can see, the weather looks like April…. Weather is subject to
change. I’ll try to post the updated weather day of take-off.

We’ll be launching again near Rokeby Line, NE of Alvinston, as done in
previous years.

Packing has not started as of yet.. it will happen I’m sure.

This year, again, we hope to make the canoe race.

I don’t think many people read this, as we just do this blog to keep a
running library for us to look back on, but if anyone out there would like
to sponsor us for the canoe race, money goes to the St. Clair Region
Conservation Foundation, as seen from this pledge form for the race.

Just contact one of us, if you know us, or send us your contact information in the “Ask Us Anything ” section of this site, and we’ll get back to you ASAP.

Keep Dry Everyone, Don’t Tip Your Canoe!
