Please Note:
This is a casual meet-up. I’m a fellow paddler—not a guide or certified rescue expert. While I’ve been kayaking regularly since 2021, I don’t have formal training in rescue, navigation, or first aid. This event is weather-dependent. By joining, you assume full responsibility for your own safety.***
Courtesy Request:
If you RSVP but later can’t attend, please let me know—no ghosting, please. You’re officially on the trip once you RSVP and meet me in the parking lot. Until we make in-person contact, you’re on your own.***
