Club recognized for Community Contribution...

Members will be pleased, I hope, to know that Gananoque Canoe Club has recognized the Dolphins' efforts this year to retrieve sunken kayaks with the Commodore's Award for Community Support. This reflects well on our whole membership, demonstrating our interest in engagement with other sporting groups and the public as a whole. Every time we answer a question about our diving and what it entails, we're promoting both the sport and the Canadian Forces ethic of service. Might not seem that way, but that's a fact. Everybody should give themselves a small pat on the back this morning...

Chasing 50...

As the colder weather approaches, one of our members is chasing her 50th dive. Ashley is looking for opportunities to hit that magic figure before the season ends. Now that we're aware of the challenge, we're doing our best to support the effort. Today, the chance arose to introduce her to the waters of the Gananoque River. Limited in depth, this site has much to commend it in terms of things to see. It's also an easy entry and exit compared to many. An expedition to the Stacked Hulls is on the agenda. Watch this space for the announcement of the 50th - soon...

Back to Gan...

Another expedition to the Canoe Club 'lake' in Gananoque. The most interesting feature today was the fairly marked drop in water temperature over the last week or so. The minimum noted today was 57℉ (14℃). This is down about 10℉. Otherwise, the nose cone of a kayak was recovered to close the books on one lost from the Club and a few lonely Bluegills were amused by the passage of a pair of divers through their territory.
