Join me for just the paddle, just for lunch or for BOTH!

I am not a registered diner so eat at my table at your own risk.

I'm in!!!

Hells Ya!! I'll go for a paddle and sushi with you any day Carla!
Woohoo! Paddling season is starting again!!! Unlike all you crazies, I go cross country skiing and snowshoeing in the winter ;0) But I miss my paddling! So count me in! James says he's coming too even though he can't stand sushi. I guess that means he can't stand being away from me more than he can't stand sushi ;0)
See you sooooon!!!!
Hey by the way I was talking to Tom-the-Paddle-Guy, and he said it's a really cool paddle up the Jordan river? The one where the big old ship is at Prudhommes? He said you can put-in there and paddle up the river to see some really cool old bridges or something. It's a sheltered paddle too if the winds are high that day....not that I'm saying anything about high winds and strong currents on the Niagara River or anything like that......

Paddle - Yes, Raw Fish - No

Hey Carla,

So I'm with James on the whole Sushi thing but will certainly make it for the paddle, I'll put the call in to the Coast Guard before I leave home, should save some time later in the day! Looking forward to it.

Re: Paddle 'n Sushi

I'm in for the paddling and the sushi. Maybe we can have them boil it into oblivion for our British friends ;) I'll be driving from Milton if anyone wants to carpool.

Brian

Re: Paddle 'n Sushi

No thanks on the sushi but in for the paddle.
Brian, us Brits prefer our fish battered and FRIED.

Sushi yuck

I am in!

Craig, Drummond, lets source out a different restaurant and we will paddle together and then split for food!

Fish

There has to be a real fish and chip shop over there somewhere, Alan can bring his own Haggis.

Compromise

Maybe a compromise is in order.....do they serve beer and chocolate at the sushi place?

Re: Paddle 'n Sushi

If it's a decent fish and chips place it will proudly serve haggis

Compromise

Tempura and beer is just like fish and chips. I'm not sure there is a Japanese equivalent to haggis though.

Brian

Fish from your kayak and wrap it in seaweed.

OOOOOhhh I see that Sushi Jade is on the Canadian side:

I was under the impression that we were paddling over to the US side for some food.

Seems like the reviews of most of the fish and chip places in Niagara suuuck. They need a thistle branch down there! This one seems the best.

Paddle and Sushi

LOL - I LUV Sushi - what's with you Brits anyway???

I'm hoping to come too on the 19th and will be game for any meal. Terriyaki is always an option for the gastronomically challenged.

Re: Paddle 'n Sushi

YAY! Lise you are back in the South!!

Fantastic that you can make it... Maybe I will just hold my nose and drink lots of Saki. Then it will probably taste AWESOME!

See you guys soon!

Re: Paddle 'n Sushi

Hey Carla
I will be there on Saturday!
I will be bringing Steve with me. He wants to try sushi.
See you Saturday morning.
BoB

BoB!!!

BoB!!! Say it isn't so! Kristine is gonna carve my eyes out! You have not painted the bathroom yet!!!!!!!! You KNOW she said you could not come out to play UNTIL you got your job list done!!!

Re: Paddle 'n Sushi

I guess that as long as I am entertaining Steve I can play. For a skinny guy he sure carries a lot of weight with the boss!!

Location?

Is this where we're meeting? Hey Craig, I'm passing by your place on the way if you want to split a ride.

Brian

Location

Hey Brian, that would be great - have you got room on your rack for my kayak? I'll drop you an email with my address. I know the location of the launch, we went from there last year.

So looking forward to this paddle!

Craig

Re: Paddle 'n Sushi

Due to an unforeseen issue that popped up, me being a dumb ass and not realizig this paddle was tomorrow, I will not be coming out.
I'll get on this river eventually.

Have fun All

Pics and video

We had a nice paddle up one of the nearby creeks to avoid the wind. Here are some pics, and a video of James and Craig attempting to roll the new double kayak.

Sushi and paddle

Hmm, I'm not having success uploading my pics. I have a good video of the grand roll. Well, it's on facebook for those who can go there!

Good Fun!

Hey thanks Carla and everyone. We had a great time. Sorry that Brian, Craig and I slipped out to the Fish and Chip (well burger) place instead! haha Was great to see you and and thanks Brian and Lise for posting pics and vids! That tandem roll sure was chilly!!
