***All members and friends of the Fellowship and their guests, of all ages and abilities, are welcome!
o If you sign-up as a solo, let me know if you want to paddle solo (kayak) or with others in a canoe or ride in a canoe.
o If you’re a couple and one or both don’t want to paddle, let me know and I’ll place you (might not be together).

*** This is an easy paddle (unless the wind is against us).

*** This has been a summer highlight for many of us for 25+ years!
