prudenceb Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 So sorry I can't make it. My car is getting dented door fixed. They said it would take three days and be ready yesterday, but now, it looks like late Friday, so no paddling for me ?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
