New for this year, we are going to try to keep this paddle practice going into the summer. The time and place might shift around but most likely it will be earlier and not on port property. It will be early is better because summer weekends are so busy and we don't want practice to interfere with downwinding. The location change because HR can be so crowded on summer weekends and the port is now very expensive to park at.  What the heck, let’s mix it up…
We will keep going as long as people keep coming and our 7 coaches have the time to volunteer. Please Please give them a huge thanks for what they do: Michaela Copenhaver, Michele Eray, Maggie Hogan, Donald Kiesling, Brian Kummer, Van Douglas, Jeff Castleberry.
