Shem Creek to Remley's Point. Approximately 5 miles.

Open water trip. We can explore Crab Banks in the Charleston Harbor along the way. Will paddle past the Yorktown and under the bridge. Weather may be cold. Cold weather gear is a must. Full set of dry clothes in a dry bag is required on this trip. May want to bring snacks and hot liquids in a thermos.

Begin: 10 a.m. and be off the water no later than 3:00 p.m.

Meet at Sparkleberry Landing @ 10:00 and plan to be on the water by 10:15. The water levels will determine where paddle and how long we will be one the water. Plan for about four hours paddling time. There is a possibility that we may not find a spot to take out for lunch.

All Palmetto Paddler Members and Friends,

Our January Meeting will be held at 7:00PM at the Luther Lee Building on Tuesday Night, January 26, 2010. We have the Gamecock Room rented until 9:00PM.

Lee Olson has planned to show a paddling video as our main event...Bruce Monson will give us a trip report of the 1st paddle of 2010, that he led on Cedar Creek in Congaree National Park.

Due to high water, 10,000 cfs on Friday with expected rising levels by Sunday, this trip is canceled. I went to check landings today and level is in the red mark on posts and running very fast. Land near landings are flooded. No way to paddle up to dam in these conditions. I do not have enough experienced paddlers confirmed to risk a trip with novice paddlers.
