Upcoming Paddles

Launch at 10 a.m. at Stone Lagoon. Besides being an incredibly beautiful setting, Stone Lagoon is a great place to review all your skills. Keep your paddling skills from getting rusty or learn new ones as you practice getting back into your boat or help a paddle partner re-enter theirs. You can learn a lot by just observing, too. Visit the calendar for more details. RSVP by Thursday, June 2.

June 15 — Low Tide Paddle on Trinidad Bay
Launch at 6:30 a.m. at Trinidad
With a minus tide, we will spend our time poking around the rocks in the harbor looking for exposed sea-life that is not typically observable and plan on staying within the relatively protected harbor area. Come dressed for unexpected immersion. As always, PFD and whistle are requirements; a helmet and bilge pump are recommended. The trip leader will have spare paddles, tow-line and other safety gear but if you want to bring your own please do. If anyone is interested we may work on some open water rescue/self-rescue/towing. RSVP by Monday, June 13.
