Confluence

[jonny water]

Any one going to the Confluence today. It's aroung 500 this morning but as the snow melts, it should be upwards of 1000 by this afternoon (hopefully). I am going around 4:00 if anyone wants to meet. I'll be the one with ear plugs and nose plugs.

I'll be out there after I close up the shop at 6:00. And, I don't paddle in cold water with out ear plugs anymore either. Should be a good time.

Headed out in the next hour or so, proplugs and noseclips in tow. Skatepark wave should be *ON* at these levels. It rocks at 1000, and the ferry is easy at higher water.

Hey Frenchy, the Buzz clock might be off - I just posted that at 2:30, and it says I posted it at 11:30am. Hmmm.

OK, What is the deal with confluence? Some people like it, others say that they would not dare set foot in there. I see that it is flowing at the moment. But does that mean you are surfing with turds??

[Caspian]

You'll have to decide for yourself - that's the only fair thing to say. Some hate it, I dig it, and the number of people that don't go mean that there's a very short queue in the eddy.

I grew up learning to surf/ferry/roll at a place in Atlanta now called the $h!T hole. It is a section of the Chattahoochee that runs thru the metro area. I think it was a lot worse than the Confluence, but it was fun and made me into a much better paddler. Right now, since there is nothing else going off and since I just bought a new playboat (thanks Badkins), I'm off to try out the play and hopefully spend a minimal amount of time up-side-down. When the real rivers are running, you won't find me down at Confluenza.

My last adventure at Confluence yielded seven weeks of extraordinary stomach trouble and an opportunity to practice soiling the underside of my toilet seat about six time per day. This was caused either by giardia or some chemical in the water that was strong enough to kill all the giardia. Take your pick.

I personally am more than happy to help keep the lines short at Confluence.

Seven weeks is a long time, is that typical?
