Busiest Canoeing Weekend in BOC Memory

Monday, May 24, 2010 09:02 AM

A HUGE thanks to all the great customers who rented canoes and asked us to shuttle your vehicles this past weekend. We can't recall ever seeing this many paddlers on the river, and that's saying something---we've been around a long time! Your patience with Saturday's parking congestion at Kyle's and the many, many shuttles shuttles we were asked to run both days is greatly appreciated.

Even if you didn't paddle or shuttle with BOC, thanks for being patient as we took our turn getting our clients safely on the river and carefully moving their vehicles up and down Kyle's very bumpy, narrow road.

Thanks, also, to our great staff, who handled countless cars without error or mishap. Even though you were under the gun, you paid attention and delivered each customer's car with care.

BOC customers and staff, you are the best! Even with all the craziness, wouldn't you agree it was a wonderful weekend of perfect water and weather?!?!
