Wait a minute! Who let this guy in here? I don't care if he's got a log book of every inch and level of the Potomac for the past 10 years. I thought this group had standards! ;-)

Cheat Attaining/River-running Wednesday & Thursday:
Having been out in the Gorge/Chutes for the past three days and, in fact, most days of the past 10 years, here's a synopsis of what to expect tonight and tomorrow night. Be careful and catious though. It may be in the 40/50s, but the water is still only 38 degrees and there's a lot of trees coming down the river.
WEDNESDAY / Expected Level between 6.6 and 6.7 feet.* Attainment from Anglers to Maryland Chute via Main Channel = Manageable (via Attainers Right) but challenging especially around "Corner Hole." Very turbulent water.* Attainment from Anglers to Maryland Chute via Back Channel = Very Manageable. Stay on Attainers Left for most of the attainment.
* Maryland Chute Attainment = Tough. Can be done along Attainers RIght or through turbulent water on Attainers Left (make sure you have a strong roll!)* Top of Back Channel Attainment = Very good Strong Ferry Practice (make sure you have a strong roll!)* Surfing Center Chute Wave = Slalom boats & longer should be good to go! 8-10 feet boats will likely be too slow to catch. It was a ton of fun this morning at 6.6 feet in a slalom boat.* Surfing Skull Island Wave = Steep & pulsing, but should be fun (make sure you have a strong roll!)
THURSDAY / Expected Level between 7.2 and 7.3 feet.* Attainment from Anglers to Maryland Chute via Main Channel = Very tough (via Attainers Right) and very challenging especially around "Corner Hole."* Attainment from Anglers to Maryland Chute via Back Channel = Manageable. Stay on Attainers Left for most of the attainment.
* Maryland Chute Attainment = Tough. Attainers RIght is the general move at this level (Attainers Left is very tough)* Top of Back Channel Attainment = Fantastic Strong Ferry Practice (make sure you have a strong roll!)* Surfing Center Chute Wave = Too flat/fast. Possibly some short surfs in a very long boat.* Surfing Skull Island Wave = Perfect level. Strong wave though (make sure you have a strong roll!)
Have fun!-Adam--

Dear Cheaters,I hope you are all embracing the joys of early Spring paddling, including the arctic cold, the river icebergs, frozen fingers and helmet-icicles. I know too well that the cold is no match for the warmth of this group and I wish I could be there to share the fun and camaraderie with all of you.I wish all of you a wonderful Cheat season! I will be thinking of you while waiting for the Alaska rivers to thaw... and after that. :)Cheers!Sandrine

Long ago and not so far away, a grizzled bespectacled sorcerer introduced some us to the dark art of attaining. Little did we know that we would be ensnared, never again to look at moving water without wondering "Could we attain that?" Over the years, generations of attainers have chronicled their addiction, recording their success, failures and dreams of mighty accomplishments --- like attaining Maryland Chute at 5 feet in a freaking Remix like Andrew did one year. I've never forgiven him for that humiliation. ;-) But I digress.
The Attainers Blog (http://attaining.blogspot.com/) is a handy reference for for those who love the torture of attaining. Tagged by various levels and types of boats, you can get information on the many options up and down our home river. For example, given the levels for today, I can anticipate the rare pleasure of attaining up the Back Channel and out to the main river, may doing some loops down through the Chutes and back up again. It also reminds me to go have a look at Center Chute, as there should be some sweet long boat surfing tonight. In fact, there is a good bit of information on the surf spots, offering up some incentives for success attains.
Please come check it out. If you'd like to author your own entries, just let me know. And while you're there, don't forget to feed the fish --- they're always hungry. ;-)
Enjoy!JOHN
