This list is partially transposed from soggy papers from the wettest WOR on record, from many emails and Facebook messages. All errors herein are probably due to Cruise Chair. Thanks to Bill Dement and Marlow Durbin who helped read wet and runny hieroglyphics and to Sarah Ruhlen for her editing and remarks. Happy Memories and Happy Reading All! Joan Monnig, Cruise Chair

USNWC Shamrock Smackdown 2013
This Smackdown had a different vibe. Sort of a See and be Seen thing. Just you and me and 10,000 of our closest friends.
Reminded me of the Oscars. Yep, that's it. I am already a notorious name dropper (Paddled with Dennis Huntley) so maybe this is the format.

Sometimes opportunities come in bunches, and in this case we’re talking mistletoe bunches. As I was perusing the calendar, I noticed that several events were falling into line: a concert in Chapel Hill, then the Sprig Outing trip Saturday morning , another social engagement that night, and finally the club’s annual Winter Potluck/Meeting. I decided the Sprig Outing needed to be part of my itinerary.

On the second weekend in June, 19 youth and teen paddlers descended on Bryson City for a paddling clinic held by the Foothills Paddling Club and Carolina Canoe Club. The students ranged in age from 7 to 18, with almost every age in-between. Skill levels ranged from, “what’s an eddy?” to “why aren’t we on the Ocoee?” The students were divided into three groups – beginner, novice, and intermediate, with 2 instructors for each group.
