    Kayaking 101 May 17 – Trip Report

    By pack_admin | It's About the Journey, Pack & Paddle Trip Reports | 3 comments | 23 May, 2012 | 0

    Such a fun time.
    Majority of the class hadn’t kayaked before but were so ready for the challenge. The weather was perfect with a slight breeze. Everyone picked up the technique quickly and we enjoyed a paddle thru the beautiful Lake Martin Cypress trees. There are so many birds right now a true treat. 

    Congrats again to the new retirees! Four of the eight of us had recently retired one individual was celebrating her first day of retirement! The rest of us are “aspiring to retire”.

    It was an honor to be a part of the beginning of a new chapter in your lives. I can’t wait to see you on the water again.

    -Amy Dupuis, Instructor

      Thank you Amy for making my first kayaking experience such a good one. Can’t wait to get back out there and practice what I’ve learned. Bonnie J.

      Thank you Amy for a memorable and educational kayak trip. The beauty of Lake Martin is even more stunning on the water. Can’t wait to sign up for another trip.
