America’s Boating Course ABC3 Planned Oct 28, 2009
August 27th, 2009Paddle Smart Seminar planned for Oct 17, 2009
August 27th, 2009The Paddle Smart Seminar of May 30th was a resounding success. There were 18 participants (6 were Ponce members). Marilyn Sullivan and Mark Spradley of the Marine Discovery Center taught the seminar and their paddling experience was great. The highlight of the event was when everyone converged on the bank of the river and a fleet of kayaks took off for Bird and Chicken Islands. Everyone that I spoke with really enjoyed the outing. Hopefully, we will offer this seminar again in the near future.
