It's target are rafters and local city paddlers. I was on the phone with them 2 days ago because I am flying to Charlotte in June for a week. They said they have finally decided that they will not rent equipment, period. Apparently they can't find anyone to insure them for it. A 1.5 hour lesson, where you can borrow equipment, costs $80. Uh, no thanks. NOC here I come! I was headed there anyway, but now I'll be spending one more day there.
It's a shame to see what's come out of it. I've had an idea in the back of my mind for something similar on a smaller scale in my area, but I am completely turned off by the result. We have a 600 acre reservoir sitting at 1200ft with an aquaduct running into the town about 400-500ft. They occasionally generate electricity at a small turbine facility. I think there's some potential there. |
