Interested, and can fit two yaks on my roof rack (I have Yakima pads and noodles)

To dress for immersion…does that mean dry suit or wet suit? I have a skirt but no wetsuit yet (and probably not investing in dry suit yet until I’m paddling more)

Sounds like fun. Will see you there!
Meeting at 10 – does that give us enough time to shuttle to take out and get back?

[admin]

Yes. It’s only 5.5 miles but slow flow. Always good to bring a headlamp this time of year

Wear poly pro like running tights or long Johns and extra clothing to change into in a dry bag. Wear a wind breaker to hold in your body heat . Cap . Your feet will get wet so who socks if you don’t have neoprene booties . Kathy
