Kayak and Canoe Group Surf Pines
Hey Surf Pines Peeps. The Shady Pines Irregulars have started a socially safe Kayak and Canoe Group. Last Monday The Limbird’s, Seppa’s, Rogie’s and Smiths had the first run on Monday May 4. We ran down to the bridge from the South end of Neacoxie lake to the bridge. We picked up Bonnie and Mel near their place and went to the bridge. It was a fun couple of hours and we got lots of chasing done and some exercise to boot. (see Kay’s Pictures)
We all agreed this is a hoot and want to do this again. There also are several people who have expressed interest in joining in. The plan is to try and have a social run a couple times a week, where there is no hurry just chat and row. The second group are those that want more aerobics and do a faster run and focus on getting rid of all the great food we have been getting from the area restaurants who have food togo or deliver.
So, since a good excursion is when it is not very windy and pleasant out, we have set up an email list of those interested. They can join at their leisure. We will send out an e-mail blast to those who are interested and those that want top go that day go and those that don’t don’t.
So if you want to join we will start from the Smiths House (Munchkin Manors 2 89535 Shady Pine RD) at a specific time (usually around 9:30) so we miss the winds later in the day. Many can park at our house and launch their Kyak or Canoe from our lunching area on the lake.
Those further down the lake can join us on our northern leg (that is what Mel and Bonnie did). Then we head somewhere around the bridge at Sunset Lake and then come back dropping of those along the way that joined us on the first leg. The social run is more leisurely and hopefully we can get another group who want more aerobic speeds at other times.
It appears that Saturday and Sunday this week will be great to do our flotilla once again. So the plan is to launch some of us at the south end from Smiths house at 89535 Shady Pine at 9:30 sharply on Saturday for the Social Paddle. The rest can connect as we pass their areas.
If there are some that want a faster more aerobic run we will head out Sunday Morning around 9:30 also.
So if you are interested, Message or e-mail Tom Smith (toms@surfpines.org) and we will add you to our notification group. Then as we find great days to paddle we will let you know and if you want to join then come on down.
