HAGG LAKE PADDLE AND RESCUE PRACTICE, L2, 11-08-2022

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.

Narrative: This is a re-do of the trip from last week that was cancelled due to high winds. Preference given to folks from that trip who didn't get to go since it was cancelled. All registrants will automatically be put on the waitlist.

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.
