4th and Final Round - Last Hurrah!
Posted: Fri Aug 14, 2015 6:48 pm
4th and final round this summer..........Let's get some first (or newbie) timers on a trip down the lower James.
When? August 20th, be in the lot by 5:15 ready to load up so we can shuttle up at 5:30.
Why? Paddling is about community and what better way to be part of that community than by boating with others for fun. This is not a trip you have to pay for. We would love it if you were a Coastals member but it isn't required.
Where? 14th street takeout
Who? Anyone who feels the need to step up the paddling game a bit.
What? A well supported, absolutely fun and fabulous trip from Reedy Creek to 14 street
How? Shuttle up and paddle downtown...
If you have solid boat control, can catch eddies, make ferry moves, listen to others, and have desire to paddle the lower James, then this trip may be the one for you.
It would help if you can roll your boat in moving water, but we will accept peeps who know how to T-rescue in white water. Of course you will need a boat with airbags, paddle, helmet, PFD, and a burning love for all things paddling related...
We will also need some support from experienced boaters. Our goal is to have two experienced boaters for every first timer, with one leading and the other sweeping.
All questions, concerns, and comments are welcome. Thank you all for you interest in this trip.
Disclaimer: I reserve the right to cancel this trip if for some reason we actually get rain and the water level become too high.
