Jan 1 2025 BCC Feast on the Beach. At the Birmingham Canoe Club property/Mulberry Fork takeout. Level 1 ft, my favorite. In the Jackson Antix 2.0m, also my favorite. It was sunny, perhaps 60 as the high, and many people enjoyed the float and the feast after.

Jan 2 Mulberry. Level approx 8 inches on the old bridge. In the Jackson Antix 2.0m. With Tammy P., Andy L., Jason L. Shahn W. tried to join us but he had left his helmet at home. It happens to us all - have to Count Five. Sunny, mid-50's, Training Wheels wave was great, Lunchstop was flatter than at 1 ft so a bit harder to get onto, but was great to surf. 5-0 was shallow and steep.
What does Count Five mean? It means count the five things you must have in order to whitewater kayak: your paddle, your boat, your spray-skirt, your pfd, and your helmet.
