2012 Sydenham Canoe Trip

its THAT time of year again..

our 2012 Sydenham Canoe Trip will be under way this weekend, with the usual unknown stops, portaging, camping, complete solitude, and becoming one with the river and nature.

Jamie and Kenny has done a complete renovation of their canoe named the “Sydenhammer”..  I haven’t seen the finished product, so I’m excited to see what they have finished with..  They started working on it about one month ago, and sounds like they just put the final coat of paint last night.  Hopefully I can get a before/during/after shots of it.

Kevin and Scott may not be joining us this year, as Kevin has had some tooth aches and had some dentist work going on today. So he might not be in high spirits to take on the challenge this year.

As it stands, the Trip will consist of:
Jamie (4th time) & Kenny (4th time)
Philip (3rd time) & Randy (3rd time)

Weather Forecast (Alvinston Weather Link) (the following is forecast at time of writing this):
 - Friday: High of 23C, Low of 10C, Thunder-showers small %
 - Saturday: High of 8C, Low of 3C, Variable Clouds
 - Sunday: High of 7C, Low of 1C, Sunny

Launching near Rokeby Line, NE of Alvinston.

Packing will start tonight, food is already prepared, snacks bought.  Just need to pack everything up.

MAYBE this year.. we’ll make the race… maybe…

prolly not.
