New York City’s fourth annual Mayor’s Cup, which took place a week and a day after the Phatwater, on October, 18th, is written up at Surfski.com, and I urge you all to read of it, hyar. http://www.surfski.info/content/view/1141/147/ The write up, by Phatwater Veteran and Sub-IV paddler Joe Glickman, is terrific. It will offer you a [...]
Phatwater on the Natchez Gauge today is 42.49′. The corn snake, Elaphe gutatta, takes its name from the resemblance the pattern has to Indian corn, particularly on the ventral side, seen here: You will note, in both snakes, the round pupil, which is a feature seen only in non-venomous snakes within our range. The eastern [...]
Phatwater on the Natchez Gauge today is 42.9′. Windy, lots of drift, lots of local rain to keep things well stirred, but will be hoping to make a November tour, perhaps before the Marathon Rowing Championships, in Natchitoches, Louisiana, on 14 November. This is also a great race. For registration go to RegattaCentral.com. Pub glasses [...]
Phatwater level on the Natchez Gauge today is 43.2′. We’re hoping to get our countdown calendar and other date corrections up on the site some time next week. I am meeting with our timekeepers this morning, hopefully to finalize the results once and for all. Afterward we will list 1st place finishers here, and begin [...]
We’d like to publish to our blog and our Kayakmississppi facebook page any shots you guys might have. According to what I read on Facebook they can allow images up to 5 megabytes in size, but we needn’t have any that large. Send what you wish and we’ll sort through them, and publish the best [...]
Phatwater level on the Natchez Gauge today is 37.65′ and rising rapidly. 40′ by tomorrow is predicted. Here’s a shot from yesterday with much drift from the recent mid-west rains, as well as the local. We’ve had more than six inches in the first two weeks of October. It’s blustery and cold this morning at [...]
This year’s Phatwater Bowie was won by a complete stranger. Well, not a complete stranger to his mom, but to us. His name is Jim Donovan, and he hails from McKinney, Texas. He is a friend of a friend of Jamie and Heather Kearney, and he bought several raffle tickets from Jamie, who commutes to [...]
A number of you have written in to say you cannot access the results page in the XLS file. I have requested of our timekeepers that they place it into a PDF for ease of viewing and I’m waiting to hear from them now. Thanks, Keith
Quick note here. It’s been three days since the Phatwater and between Melissa and I, we’ve already logged about 64 hours for next year’s race. This is a good thing because we can receive grant monies based on the hours of service we provide for our event. It’s bad news in the sense that I [...]
If you find, in our results page, that you have been ‘dissed’, by having your name misspelled, or your boat/class mist aching, let us know so’s I can correct if before detectives arrive upon my door step with a copy of Miranda in one hand and Philly Cheesed Ache in he other. If you find [...]
