This trip is limited to members with a wet exit certification (except for level 1 trips when the paddler is not using a spray skirt....if the paddler is wearing a spray skirt on a level 1 paddle, the Wet Exit Certification is REQUIRED). To successfully register you will need to sign into your OOPS member account, and your account will need to be a member of the "Wet Exit Certified" group if you intend to wear a spray skirt. Your acceptance is conditional on approval by the Organizer, who may contact you with questions about your skills and equipment. If the measured water temperature is different enough from that listed below to warrant a change in required immersion protection, the Organizer will contact all participants and the Trips Board member with the update at least a day before the trip
Full Name: Dennis Pennell Activity Title: Hagg Lake Paddle and Rescue Practice, L2, 11-4-22 Date of Activity: 11/4/2022 Narrative: We will launch from C Ramp and do more or less a circumnavigation of the lake with some interspersed rescue practice including using a paddle float. We will hit all the small lakeside bays and creek inlets as water level permits. Water level is low now so the distance around the lake is significantly less than at full pool. Please no anonymous sign ups. Please be aware of shore-based fisher folk and give them plenty of space. If you plan to participate in rescue practice, please wear a wetsuit and dry top at a minimum, and a drysuit would be best.
