I know Paul and Pat will want to do the 3500 in June, but I am leaning toward the 2400 in August. I’d even do the 1800 in June if Bill or Jonathan are interested. Unfortunately, I can’t do the July releases due to my family vacation.

June 29th is Deerfield Riverfest with an early release, so I’ll probably do the Lower Deerfield for the Flatwater group on that day.

Erik, 3500 same as 2400 just a bit swifter. Second day is Kennebec River day up the road. Usually 5,000 - I'm told that's the most challenging - higher is bigger faster, but easier Class IV waves. I'm sure Pat and I would be down for both June and August runs with you.

Erik, have you done the Winni?

I've done the lower Winni in a shredder, not my canoe. Would like to try my canoe at a lower level run.
