Like last year, once the water warms up we're going to be doing some informal instruction sessions

That's the schedule folks.
 

     

Tides dictate where and when we can paddle, and weather dictates if we can paddle.
Other events may be added as the season progresses.
All current members will be advised by group email of upcoming trips and events as they draw near.
