Thursday (6/28) Sea Kayak on Lake Mendota!!!

Thursday, June 28, 2018 (9:40am - 1:30 pm)

Description

Weather permitting, I will lead a small group to sea kayak on Lake Mendota on Thursday (6/28). The goal will be distance (our route depends on the weather). At a pace of 3-4 miles an hour, paddling for about 3 hours (with breaks), we should be able to paddle between 9-12 miles or so. We will break up the paddle for water, snacks, and rescue/rolling practice to cool off.

SK1 and standard swim test required. Given the distance, participation will depend on paddling skill and experience.

Please arrive no later than 9:40am sharp dressed to paddle, and place your boat, paddle, and gear together in your boat on the triangular pier. Have your footpegs ready so we can launch right away.

You will bring (required): Lots of water (2-3 liters), Snacks, Sunscreen, appropriate paddling clothes (warm when wet) and closed-toe shoes that can get wet (no cotton), warm dry clothes to change into, towel.

Thank you!
