Really appreciate the effort put forward to help Maligiaq Padilla get into the Quebec race. QCC has generously agreed to supply one of their new Q600 Kevlar kayaks and will ship it to Montreal. It will arrive at 12:00 five hours before Maliqiaq arrives. Not a racing boat but should be right up there in an open water race like this. This is particularly fortunate as I culd not find any decent boats available despite over three hours on the phone calling everyone I knew in Quebec. (OK, not a lot of people but what does an Ontarian know about Quebec). I have arranged with a dealer of canoes and kayaks in Quebec, La Randonnee (hope I have that spelled right) to pick up the boat and, hopefully meet Maligiaq at the bus. I am having trouble finding accomodations but maybe something will turn up. I also need someone to help Maligiaq get around (he speaks little English and probably no French). Unfrotunately i will be in Nova Scotia for that period so can't help much. If anyone has any bright ideas let me know.

> > Really appreciate the effort put forward to help Maligiaq Padilla get into > the Quebec race. I just thought I'd mention something else. I think I read that Maligiaq is coming into Albany and then making his way up to Quebec. I don't know which route is being taken but it would be a very good idea to avoid the Woodstock area this weekend. Horendous traffic jams are predicted for the Utica area. -- John Fereira jaf30_at_cornell.edu *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************
