Had a nice short session at Blakeney Rapids, near Almonte this afternoon. Was a great way to get the rust off. It was kinda cold and windy but warm sun and pushy whitewater takes care of that.
If you haven't been to Blakeney, it is worth checking out. A great spot to get the arms moving and ease your way back into creeking, or, a great spot to learn. It is wide riverbed, with a number of channels that form between islands, and literally 10+ ways to run them. Lots of opportunities to push your limits, and tackle harder lines, or just cruise the sneaks. Plenty of push to the water at this flow.
There was maybe 10 people out there running lines, or rescuing boats (its an unfriendly place to swim), and plenty of spectators taking in the show.
Get it while it lasts, because Blakeney is only in during the spring high water.
The photos are so great, but don't complain. It was cold.
Phitty.
