Wednesday Lunch Paddles

Details will be posted on the trips forum the preceding Sunday or Monday. At that time specific information about the trip will be also added to the Trips Forum. The trip posting thread can also be used for questions and conversation about the particular trip.

Even though we don't know exactly when and where each paddle will occur, here is a description of a typical Wednesday Lunch Paddle:

• Open to all skill levels: the trip is adjusted to fit the attendees
• Meet at launch location at 9:30.
• On the water and paddling at 10:00am.
• 1.5-2 hours of paddling to some location
• 1 hour of food, conversation, and relaxation
• 1.5-2 hours of paddling to return to launch
• Return around 3:00.

These paddles are appropriate for independent paddlers with some ocean experience, so this is not an ideal choice if it's your first time paddling on salt water.  The Wednesday paddles are cooperative adventures, not guided trips—however, we strive to share useful knowledge and tips as we go, and we try to adjust each trip to the desires and abilities of the group. Each participant is responsible for her/his own safety. Don’t assume the trip initiators are smarter, stronger, better at rough water, more attractive, or more skilled paddlers than you are.
