Sunday July 16 Sea Kayak (Milwaukee) on Lake Michigan
Weather Pending. Sign up for consideration by emailing me.
I may lead a small group (3-4) to paddle at South Shore, Milwaukee on Sunday. This will be a chance to paddle Lake Michigan in a safe environment. There is a breakwall so that paddlers do not have to go into the waves if they don't want to. And when there aren’t waves it is a beautiful place to paddle. I can demonstrate some new rescues or towing. You may also meet new paddlers outside of Hoofers. This is for experienced SK1/SK2p and up. Participation is at my discretion. Standard swim test is required. You should be comfortable with the idea of paddling a large body of water and the thought of getting into some waves (~2 feet). You should have stamina to paddle for about 5 hours. I will be checking w/ paddlers to get an idea of experience.
You will need a lunch in a dry bag, 1-2 L water. Given the current water temperatures (~64 degrees Fahrenheit), a wetsuit is required for this trip. Helmets, paddle float, life jacket, bilge pump, etc…are required as they would be for any sea kayak trip.
We will launch at 12-noon from South Shore Harbor in Milwaukee. We will leave Madison no later than 10:00am. (It’s about a 1.5 hour drive to Milwaukee.) We will load the boats/gear the night before to maximize our paddling time. This will be a day of refining skills, and hopefully bigger conditions.
