Paddles are on the beautiful rivers, creeks and marshes of Cape Cod, from Sandwich to Eastham and will be about 3 hours long.  Walks are in scenic areas from Barnstable to Provincetown and won't be over 3 miles, usually less...and are for you and your best canine friend.

Paddles are meant for experienced, energetic paddlers who want to and are able to keep up a good rate of speed for three hours. You can join just to walk with us, but if you are not already a strong paddler who can keep up a good rate of speed, you can not RSVP for any paddles. Adults only.

Due to the terrain surrounding the water I choose to paddle on, we almost never are able to take a  break in the paddle, so you need to plan on being in your boat for the whole trip.

On most trips, you'll see no attempt to paddle with the current....my only concern is that we'll have enough water all the way out and back. 

If you are a "No Show" for 2 events, you are automatically dropped from the group.

If strong wind or rain forces a cancellation,  I'll post it on the page of that event, so please check the website before heading out when the weather is questionable.  And, I'll email everyone who RSVP'd "yes" to that event. Please make sure that I can contact you...if you are vacationing on the Cape and don't have easy access to your email, make sure I have your phone number.

We will kayak twice a week and walk once a week from about May 1 until mid or late September.

I paddle in Florida October through April and begin scheduling events for the following year each  May.

In order to join the group, you must read the AWRL below. Then when answering the required profile questions, you must say that you agree to the following AWRL.   Each family member, each partner, each friend is going to have to join him or herself...and read and agree to the waiver. A waiver agreed to by one person can not legally cover guests who come to a paddle with that person....therefore, there are no guests on paddles (fine on walks).  Thanks.
