Hey paddlers!

First off, there's a lot of meetups being scheduled, and that's great!!

Second, the air is crazy warm, but the water is still deadly cold.  http://www.windsorstar.com/news/With+Video+Teen+family+hopes+their+loss+will+teach+other+kids/6289640/story.html

Here is an example of what can happen.  Please keep wearing your neoprene until things warm up, and definitely your life jacket every time you paddle.

The competitive paddling season begins this month!  Check out the Mid-Atlantic Paddler's Page on Facebook, https://www.facebook.com/?ref=tn_tnmn#!/groups/104613256240140/, for the schedule of events.

We've had lots of new members join!  Take a moment and say hi!  And if you haven't paid or renewed your meetup member dues yet, now is a perfect time!

Be safe out there!
