And ends yet another winter of our discontent. A very dry winter with low precipitation has not made the ones of us who are skiers overly happy. With reduced groundwater levels, end with a fairly small snow pack, the prospects for a great spring runoff are not very high. But, still we hope!!! Maybe it will snow like crazy in March, and rain on the weekdays in April, and we will have a fine canoe season. Let's go for it!!!

On the topic of club business, two items are high in my thinking. One is elections. 1989 will again be an election year, and I for one will not be eligible for re-election. It's time for those of you who want to be more active in setting club direction to start thinking of who you want to see as officers. Perhaps yourself?! Secondly, the topic of dues was treated in the March Meeting announcement. The increase to $6.00 was required to keep the club solvent, as were some austerity measures in mailings. Opinions of member suggesting other possible option would certainly be desired.

But, enough business. Let's hope for some water and go paddling.

EXECUTIVE ACTION: In response to a request from Tibor Bedo, the Executive Committee approved by phone calls the release of the mailing list to Tibor for use in contacting Waterbury resident members about recreational planning meetings for the Waterbury Reservoir. The club will also back Tibor in his participation in this planning process. The club will support by letter a proposal to make the north arm of the lake a "no wake, speed limited area" suitable for canoes. The club will also coordinate with other outdoor and conservation organizations, and will support the measure at the 3/9/89 meeting in Waterbury. (The letter has now been sent, dated 2/17/89. It is available for inspection at the March dinner.)

The NVCC Whitewater Canoeing Clinic will be held this year beginning Friday, March 17, and ending (if the ice and ~ water gods permit) on Saturday, April 1. As in the past few years, the Clinic opens with an evening classroom session, proceeds to the forgiving and warm waters of the UVM pool, and concludes with a descent of the Mad River near Moretown.

Open to anyone interested in learning tandem open canoe techniques for whitewater, the course will cost about $251 person, payable at the classroom session. A textbook will be supplied. Attendance at each preceding session is required for continued participation: to go on the river trip, you must attend both the pool and the class.

The classroom session will begin at 7 p.m., in room 201 of the UVM Lafayette Bldg. This is located behind the Old Mill. Easiest parking will be next to the Fleming Museum on Colchester Ave. The poo1 session will be from 8 a.m. to noon on Sunday, March 19, at the UVM pool next to Gutterson Fieldhouse. All equipment except clothing and towels will be supplied at the pool.

Equipment will be supplied for the river trip; participants are expected to have at least the following:

• A properly equipped canoe, with flotation, bailer, painters, and other accessories as required.
• A USCG-approved PFD for each paddler, preferably a Type III vest.
• Adequate clothing for the conditions. Wetsuits are required and are available for rent locally.
• A good attitude about swimming in icy, fast water while hundreds of dollars of equipment is floating to apparent certain destruction.

For more information, contact Mike Fullerton (456-8701), Ray Gonda (862-6164), or Rick Davis (863-2438).

If your canoeing partner is taking the Clinic, who is s/he?

Please tell us something of your canoeing experience - any rivers you have paddled, courses taken, memorable swims through rock-strewn gorges, etc.

Four years ago, Club members were instrumental in creating a series of slalom races in the Northeast. The series, called the New England Cup and supported by companies like Mad River Canoe, encouraged paddlers of both open canoes and decked boats to try racing. N.E. Cup races introduced many Club members to the sport. But after three years, the energy behind the Cup was exhausted, and the Series died.

NOW, a new force has arisen, and the Cup is alive and better than ever, under the new name Mad River Canoe New England Slalom Series. The revived and improved series includes not four or five races, but nine! These are generally easier races, geared toward the intermediate (Class II-III) paddler and novice racer. They are low-key, too. From experience, we can assure novice racers that the competitors are almost as interested in helping and encouraging as they are in winning. I vividly remember one of my closest rivals running along the shore during my race shouting at me to "GO-GO-GO!" Paddlers who are new to racing should definitely try one of these races without fear of heavy pressure or ferocious competition.

The summer meeting was called to order by Rich Larsen at 7:17 pm on June 15, 1988 at the First Congregational Church, So. Winooski Ave., Burlington, VT.

Rich extended thanks to Pat Ezekiel for the excellent Bow and Stern, to the printers, to trip leaders, to Mike Fullerton for programs, and to Al Roberts and Joan Stern for trip schedules.

Peter Alden moved that reading of the minutes, printed in the Bow & Stern, be waived. All were in favor.

Cathy Chamberlain reported $494.11 in the general treasury. $600 has been spent on decals. Jay Appleton announced plans for a kayak school. See Jay to sign up.

Mike Fullerton reported plans for a late October, 1988, display on family activities in the Berlin Mall. NVCC has been invited to participate with canoes and slides. Mike has 4 volunteers and needs 4 more so no one stays too long.

Norm Lavoie reports that the hydraulics at Pontook Dam are a major hazard - -STAY AWAY FROM THE BASE OF THE DAM.

Ray Gonda is planning a rescue clinic to practice self-rescue and helping others. Call Ray, Joan, or Alice if interested.

Peter Alden announced that the National Foundation of Ileitis and Colitis will hold a Lake Champlain Challenge canoe trip as its summer of 1989 fund raiser. Participants will gather pledges by the mile, etc. Call Peter to help or to participate.

Warren Hastings is planning an August 1988 canoe race on Otter Creek as a part of the Vergennes Bicentennial. He is looking for NVCC interest or suggestions.

Charlie Thompson rescheduled the Androscoggin trip from August 20-21 to August 27-28.

The meeting was adjourned at 7:43 pm.

Respectively submitted,
Charlie Thompson, Secretary

December 13, 1988

In attendance: Rich and Sheri Larsen, Mike Fullerton, George and Margaret McIntosh, Bill Gerlack, Ray Gonda, Jay Appleton, Rick Davis, Bob Schumacher, Peter Alden

Items discussed, questions, and resolutions:

1. ACA letter indicates that club carries no insurance for trips on the schedule. All snowmobile clubs just incorporated and GMC and AMC have been so. Why??? Should we incorporate??
2. Water Resources - Letter to state about West River reviewed. Suggested that we should 'comment' on hydro projects on the Winooski, focus on getting dam portage trails and semi-primitive camping areas. Suggested that we stay active on portages for dams on Lamoille. Persue land swap on White. Request involvement for comments and intervention on hydro projects.
3. Spring meeting to be 3/5/89, downtown preferred, try for First Congregational Church. Try a catered dinner with less stringent requirements for prior count. (Spaghetti?) Fullerton to organize program. Canada and China trips recommended.
4. Bow and Stern - Needs input to Pat for March, needs June editor.
5. Whitewater schedule to be Roberts with Fullerton help if desired.
6. Canoe school to be end of March. Fullerton, Davis, Gonda to run. Kayak school to be July. Appleton and Davis to run.
7. West River Races to be supported again. Schumacher to coordinate. Will need volunteers.
8. Publicity - Fullerton, Dews, Roberts organized slide show at Berlin Mall. Not overwhelming interest, but should try again at either University Mall or Boat Show.

Submitted by Rich Larsen

January 17, 1989

In attendance: Rich and Sheri Larsen, Bob Schumacher, Ray Gonda, Jay Appleton, Cathy Chamberlain, Pat Ezekiel, Peter Alden, Mike Fullerton, Al Roberts

Items discussed:

1. ACA membership may not be updated. To be done as activity club, as in recent years.
2. West River letter was sent. Tabled discussion of possible letter in support of enhanced rules for state park. We should try to join with AMC in use of West River take-out.
3. Approximately $300 in treasury, general fund, and S&E combined. Being depleted, as expenses are outrunning costs. Dues increase approved, to either $5 or $6 per family per year. Rich and Cathy to determine which amount is needed to achieve positive cash flow.
4. Also approved membership purge of people behind in dues, with warning provided in March meeting announcement.
5. Cathy to update phone list for Bow and Stern.
6. Plan to move March meeting to 3/12, unless this is a problem for program chair.
7. Club brochure idea discussed with example presented by Ray.
8. Canoe school activities lining up OK, need dates for pool.

Total (combined) Balance: $302.88

Androscoggin River: June 18-19, 1988

The Androscoggin was lower this trip than I had seen it before. There were foot high rocks showing under the bridge that are usually submerged, and Pontook was running well under 1200 cfs. One boat got stuck on some rocks but was rescued with only minor damage, and one paddler enjoyed the water so much he swam twice. However, the weather was great, 80s and 90s with pleasant nighttime temperatures. The age differential was over 50 years, from Amy Marceau, age 2 (who didn't paddle the whitewater) to the unnamed elderly. People kept coming and going, sometimes paddling, sometimes enjoying the countryside. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves in spite of the lower water levels.

George McIntosh

Dead River ME: July 2-4, 1988

This was an interesting expedition. First, the advertised level of 1300 cfs was vastly exceeded. Estimates ranged from 1800-2000 cfs. Oddly, the run was somewhat easier at this level. There were sneak routes on the edge of every rapid and the center routes degenerated into mostly big waves. It was fun, and we were encouraged to think about the river at even higher levels such as are released in May. Our two guest K-1s were in decked boats for the third time in their lives and it showed. She did pretty well after a swim or two. He swam almost everything.

Day two was much more like normal with no extra kayaks but, we spent much of our time bailing out and unwrapping three tandem canoes. Were they inexperienced? On the shuttle, one of them was heard to break into a conversation and ask, "What's an eddy?" All right, I was a beginner once too, but I had a lot more experience than that when I first tried a 15-mile trip.

I left before the fourth, but my spies tell me several Cruisers remained to paddle the Lower Kennebec or raft the upper portion. A typical good weekend on the Dead. Be advised that there are now outhouses and a raft truck parking area at the put-in. Large neoprenes are beginning to infest the river.

Michael F. Fullerton

Lake Champlain : July 23-31, 1988

The trip took nine days from Whitehall, New York to West Swanton, Vermont. The weather was generally hot with a light south wind except for two days with a stronger south wind and a north-west wind on our final day. The average age of the 22 paddlers was 52 with a range of 32 to 75. Three were over 70 and were among the fourteen people in eight boats who completed the entire trip. The drop-outs were by prior plan because of other commitments.

The itinerary was as follows: 18 miles to Chipman Point Marina and Campground, 19.5 miles to DAR State Park, 10 miles to Button Bay State Park, 15 miles to private land in Shelburne, 10.5 miles to North Beach in Burlington where we had special permission to camp on the beach at the north end, 11 miles to private land on Allen Point in South Hero, 9 miles to Grand Island State Park, 12 miles to Woods Island State Park (no facilities), and 14.5 miles to take-out. A north wind would have made completion of the trip in nine days difficult or impossible. Camping options in Vermont are limited between Button Bay and Grand Isle State Parks so advance arrangements are recommended for anyone planning a similar trip.

The Green Mountain Club sponsored the trip with the cooperation of the Lake Champlain Committee. Five evening lectures during the trip included a lecture-tour on Woods Island and a visit to the Maritime Museum and slides at Basin Harbor.

Andrew Nuquist

Lamoille River Flatwater Trip: July13, 1988

I was scheduled to lead two flatwater trips this summer, one on the Winooski River, and one on Indian Brook Reservoir. The drought caused problems with both of these. Due to extremely low water, the trip on July 13 was moved from the Winooski River at Richmond to the Lower Lamoille where it is crossed by Route 2. We had 6 paddlers at the start, two double boats and two solo boats. The weather was pleasant, somewhat cooler than most of the summer. We paddled upstream from the bridge and ran into Dave and Winnie Clayman, who were paddling that same stretch in a shell and kayak, respectively. We had a snack on a gravel bar a couple of miles from the put-in and then returned.

The later trip on the Indian Brook Reservoir did not happen. The reservoir was being drained for repairs to the dam and the rivers were all too low so the trip was cancelled.

RICH LARSEN

Summer Tubing Trip: July 23, 1988

Due to uncertainty associated with water releases on the Sacandaga River, we decided to move the trip to the Androscoggin River in New Hampshire. The trip participants were sparse this year, perhaps somewhat due to the information about the Sacandaga. On the trip were myself, Chuck Thompson, and George and Margaret McIntosh. We took a collection of inner tubes, kayaks, small canoes, and insanity over to New Hampshire and had fun. We did 3-4 trips in Errol around noon, some in the tubes and some paddling. After a quick lunch, we moved down to Pontook, and made three trips on this part of the river, until exhaustion and cooling air temperatures caught up with us, and we returned to Burlington by way of multiple McDonald stops. The weather was mostly sunny and warm. The rapids were not particularly threatening and we spent most of the time either splashing one another or trying to push one another's craft into a rock. It was basically a good trip. The Androscoggin is a little farther to drive than I would prefer, and it would be better to tie the drive into a second day in the mountains, or on the river.

Rich Larsen

Androscoggin River: August 27-28, 1988

Good weather prevailed and a fine time was had by all. A Saturday run was made from the campground to the bridge as well as numerous runs at Errol. The shorter run from the campground to the picnic area was made on Sunday.

A fine display of bridge jumping was put on by Chuck, Scott, Ross, Justin, and Noah, and even Dad Wadland gave it a try. Justin and Noah found that swimming in an eddy was easy and that swimming during a peel-out into heavy current was even easier. There were numerous novice and first-time whitewater participants on the trip who gained some good training and experience and are eager to try again in the coming season.

Charlie Thompson

Snakes, Rogues, and Rubber Duckies:

During the last two summers, Sheri and I have wanted to do some paddling on Western Rivers, but have been unwilling to try to figure out the logistics of transporting canoes around the country. We have started using "Rubber Duckies", which are also called inflatable kayaks, but are really one woman rafts. They are multi-chambered, inflated rubber craft with side tubes, a floor, and an inflated seat. They are paddled with a kayak paddle.

Over the last two summers, we have used them on the Rogue River in Oregon, and on the Hells Canyon portion of the Snake River on the Idaho-Oregon border. We have paddled them as part of commercial raft company trips, where the other passengers have generally stayed on the large rafts. We avoid in this manner the boat transportation problem, we get a guide that is knowledgeable about the river, and we get all our food supplied by someone else. (Of course, we don't get this for free, but that is a different question.)

On both of these trips, we have paddled class IV water with only a few adventures in swimming. The boats are fairly responsive, and very stable, as they do not flip easily on eddy lines as a kayak is prone to do. The duckies are quickly learned, especially by someone with experience in canoes and kayaks, and who is skilled in the practice of reading water. A person with little whitewater experience could quickly learn to paddle class II-III water, while one with some whitewater canoe experience, and a knowledge of how to swim rapids, could quickly tackle class III. I would not recommed class IV to those without at least strong class III, and preferably class IV, hardboat experience, as the water reading skills and paddling confidence are essential. (In the case of both of our trips, we were told that company policy forbade us paddling the IVs. It was only after discussion with the operators, and some demonstration on the water, that we were allowed to run at this level.)

The Rogue River, at the 2000 cfs level we paddled, is generally a technical river with lots of rocks in the rapids. Rainie Falls must be portaged by the sane, but otherwise it is a continuous whitewater run for about 40 miles through a deep, isolated valley. Sheri and I each swam one of the class IIIs early in the trip, but made it ok through the IVs. The first of these is Mule Creek Canyon, a tight passage through a jagged canyon with no shore eddies, and almost no chance of rescue in the rapid. The walls throw up bizarre, boiling water formations. The water difficulty is really class III, but the impossible rescue makes it rated a IV. Blossom Bar is the other IV, a long, heavy rapid with a tortured course among abrupt drops. It reminded me of the Dumplings, but longer, with more technical maneuvering required. This entire portion of the Rogue is a Wild and Scenic River, with no road between the put-in at Galice Creek and the take-out at Illahe.

The Snake is an entirely different type of river than what we usually run in the East. It is strictly heavy water with the rocks and holes generally easily avoidable. You set up you line and then go for an enormous roller coaster ride through big waves. The class IV drops are Wild Sheep, Granite Creek, Rush Creek, and Waterspout Rapids. These were IVs at the low level of 6300 cfs, which was running this summer. At higher flows some of the other drops are also this level. Wild Sheep is the biggest and most famous of the Snake rapids and it and Granite Creek are always scouted. Wild Sheep has a huge, river wide reversal at the bottom, which can devour the 12-16 foot commercial rafts. It also eats duckies, which we both found out. It's not a keeper, however, so we flushed out immediately. We made all the other big drops successfully, but the smaller class IIIs did also take their toll, occasionally. The Snake is also a Wild and Scenic River, between the put-in at the Hells Canyon Dam and the take-out at Pittsburg Landing.
