Dumoine River, Quebec!
hmm, season´s almost done.
two more days at owl rafting and then i´m off to quebec, montreal and hopefully some creeking, too. i´m exited, as i just got a magnum, can´t wait to bring that baby out.
last week we already were out to run the grande chutes of the dumoine river, about 1 1/2 hours away from the ottawa.
this section of the dumoine, which apparently is a really nice touring and canoeing river is usually a pretty long portage. the whole section is about 1 km long and offers some excellent whitewater.
so five of us went to see wether it´s worth it. that is stephan "foerster" paetsch, andy, lachie and wylie from riverrun and myself.
took us close to two hours including filming, pictures and safety to run everything, plus two crashed boats and some minor bruises. unfortunately i didn´t make it to montreal before to get my own creeker so i had to borrow emre´s jefe. did the job, but i can´t wait to be in my own boat!
all pictures are by myself, wylie or lachie, thanks to you guys for some wicked shots.
