This trip is for members who haven't paddled with us before and need to get qualified to join Intermediate trips AND members who have little/no experience and want to try out a deck boat (Sea Kayak with narrow cockpit and, often, a skirt cover).
We will take a very short canoe trip to the launch from Manhattan Ave Street End Park (MASE) (yes, a 2-Boat paddle!). We'll then prep the kayaks and launch from the Ash St boatyard.
Dress to get wet, bring water, a snack, etc. Avoid jeans or other heavy cotton clothing.
This trip is intended for beginners by which we mean those who have never kayaked, those working on skills towards intermediate and those who may have skills but haven't yet paddled with us and gotten assessed.
