Marathon #1


...

"How about a marathon bounded by Jordan, Buckhorn, and Locksville dams encompassing CF, Haw, and Deep rivers . Basically a big reservoir in the summertime and easily accessed at Avents Ferry Rd (HWY 42) with no shuttle needed.

I'm thinking a dawn launch from the 42 ramp, down to Buckhorn and back, picking up anybody who doesn't want to launch at dawn about an hour later (7:45) on the way back up, then upriver to right of the island both ways, continuing up the Haw to Jordan, then back around Mermaids point up the Deep to Lockville and back to the start. I figure to avg 3-4 mph. Not a race. Those who really like to paddle in the heat of the day, can meet us at the Jordan Lake Dam around 10:30 or so. All times are approximate.

The course is sort of a Y. Not a real Y, but more like one of the Y's in those words that you have to type in when you're registering in a new website."
