Sea Kayak on Lake Mendota, Sept 26

I just want to get out and paddle for a little bit & thought I would open this up to the club.   Will try to paddle in area protected from wind & will be sure that on the return leg will not be paddling against the wind.

Requirement: SK0 (SK1 may be preferred)

Meet outside of the Boathouse near the piers. You'll need to be dressed for the possibility of getting wet---swimsuit, warm-when-wet clothing (wear wool or synthetic long sleeve top for cool temperatues, below 70°F), hat, skull cap, gloves and some kind of footwear (wet suit booties, aqua socks, water shoes, etc.----sports sandals generally DO NOT work well (like Tevas or Chacos)---sneakers can work, but they should be as low profile (thin soled) as possible). Going barefoot is not allowed.

If the air temperature is cool (below 70s °F), would recommend bringing along wool or synthetic layers to wear under a paddling jacket and wet suit.  Wet suit & paddling jacket will be required for this trip.  The club has paddling jackets & a few wet suits available in the canoe/kayak equipment cage.
