-----------------
In an effort to be sure we paddle once a month all year around, I’m leading a sea kayaking trip this Saturday Jan. 16th to Lake Columbia. The weather is supposed to be in the mid 30’s, so should be comfortable.
This time I’d like to set a paddling pace and give those muscles a tiny workout. So probably paddle 3 1/2 to 4 mph. We’ll probably do a sprint or two after we warm up.
Also, I want to take a little time to help folks on their forward stroke and we may practice other basic strokes a bit too.
I want to start loading boats about 10:00 at the Union. I hope to be back about 4 or 5 PM.
What you’ll need:
Warm when wet clothes. Wet suits required! Also a paddling jacket or drytop. Gloves and hats are a good idea too. Even though the water is warm, the wind can chill you when (and you will) get wet.
Dry, warm clothes to change into when we’re done. And a towel.
Food for lunch on the beach.
Lots of water.
Hoofer’s membership card.
Aprox. $6.00 for gas.
$2.00 for boat use.
Piranha repellent (according to Tom F.)
This trip will be open to SK1’s, SK0’s . We’ll be using sea kayaks this time.
I’m going to limit the trip size to 8 people. I can carry 2 boats, so I’ll need people to carry more boats.
Please RSVP with your rating, if you can drive and how many boats you can carry.
See you on the water!
