      Sunday. It’s a slow , twisty river and about 5.5 miles out of St Clair MO area. Weather up to 70 and less wind . It will get dark early do plan to be off river by 3 pm . I’m still without trailer, but can carry two kayaks on my vehicle. Let me know if your interested. Kathy 3144023038 and I’ll post more details.

      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?

      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
