Three paddling events are planned for the first weekend of June.  We're opening our evening series with the earliest ever Friday Night Chill paddle, June 4.  This outing is already fully subscribed.  The tides are not favorable for either a north or south destination, but that gives us a great opportunity to show some of our guests how to buck the current.  If you requested this trip and were not selected, watch our calendar and try again -- we will be adding more Weds, Thurs and Fri evening trips.  We will be running our third Anable Basin to Hallets Cove one-way trip of the [...]
