Event Information

Description
This is a longer distance sea kayak paddle on lake mendota.  SK0 is requried.  If you are interested in getting into some more miles while sea kayaking this event is a great intro.  We will aim to do 15 miles (about half the lake coastline) which the alternative of more depending on how the group is feeling.  You should feel ok with the idea of paddling that sort of distance and have already logged some day sea kayak outings with the club and have paddled 5+miles before.  The idea is to build up to doing a full circumanavigation later this season which I will post too.
We'll meet at the Union boathouse at 10am Saturday morning.  Eat wheaties for breakfast!

Bring lunch in a drybag, clothes that are warm when wet, 2 L water, sunscreen, sunglasses.  Bring jacket to paddle in for it will be cooler that day.  Wetsuit if you have one.
