It was a lovely day for a race on the beautiful Rainbow River! Good turnout, included 14 boats from the Pointe Claire Kayak Club in Quebec, Canada. I had many e-mails after they got home saying how much they enjoyed our race and our paddlers and our river. They hope to be back next year and attend the lunch. Most were leaving right after the race which resulted in them missing it. Thanks to Fran Siegfried, Kathy Edwards, Debbie Prior and others who helped with the registration, starting & timing. Much appreciated. See ya’ll next year?

WILD HOG OBSTACLE RACE

No formal results at press time, but several FCPA members participated in this wild and wooly race!John Edwards , on his own , 1st overall Sat. April 25, 2009 (again!) with a time of 1:47. Brint Adams (K1), only 2 or 3 min. later. Eddie Francavilla and Shari Francavilla in K1’s tearing up the course. Butch Garner on his own approx. 2:22. George Garner and partner Heather, Glennis Williams and Deborah Gedeon 1st in Women’s class (6 boats) had a time of 2:25 (Neither Heather nor Deborah had seen the river nor what was entailed! What they lacked in experience, they made up in enthusiasm and energy!) I think Nathan Stewart was there, though I missed seeing him. I believe there were 57 boats overall. I was glad to see a formal statement this year... no Sharkbite organizer, Rob Merlinbrink, shows some moves to “land crossovers” this year! Hope to have some photos, official Mike and Mike (Moran&Holland) times/numbers of boats in classes next issue. Several of us adjourned to Crackers in Crystal River for the best fried oysters and spinach salad you could ask for, which were consumed w/ beer on the waterfront deck while we compared bumps & FcpaMay2009 bruises & past stories!

RELEASE: I realize that every time I leave shore in a small boat, I am a potential drowning victim. In addition, there is the possibility of injury from many things, including unseen obstacles, weather, current, waves, insects and other boaters. Human powered water craft require physical effort which can at times, be heavy, including: lifting, pulling and possibly prolonged exertion in adverse conditions.

In signing this release, I indicate my understanding of the risks involved with activities involving human powered water craft and agree to take full responsibility for my physical condition, actions and safety.

NOW THEREFORE INTENDING TO BE LEGALLY BOUND, I DO HEREBY WAIVE FOR myself, my heirs and assigns and for anyone else whomsoever claiming through me, my right to sue or in any other way to attempt to hold responsible the F.C.P.A. its officers, any so-called "race organizers " or "co-ordinators" or any of my fellow paddlers, for any mishaps to my person or my equipment, other than that which is due to the wilful and malicious action of the individual against whom I claim relief.
