We will meet at Walter Hall Park at 9:00 am and launch at 9:30. I would like this to be a semi training paddle where on the way to the turnaround we practice forward and reverse strokes, various rudders, edging, and such alike. There will be no intentional rescues so I don't plan on anyone getting wet.

Hazards -- Sunburn,windburn, hypothermia, pilings, b oat traffic,  jellyfish, stingrays, fire ants. We will try to avoid hazards. Most importantly, bring plenty of water, A DRY BAG WITH SPARE CLOTHING (NO COTTON) sun protection and snacks.
