Meet at the Festival Beach Boat Ramp at 6:00 - launching on the water by 6:15. Be sure to bring a WHITE LIGHT/HEADLAMP/GLOWSTICK with you. There is plenty of parking in the lot and along the sides of Nash Hernandez. The weather should be amazing - wear layers in case it gets a little chilly after the sunsets.
Don't forget your reusable water bottle and PFD!
*This is a bring your own board/boat/paddle/pfd meetup
We will paddle out and around the edge of the big lagoon. We'll stop to enjoy a snack or beverage, in the middle of the lagoon, if you're so inclined. Bring something to share - maybe even a spooky story to tell?
We will head back to the boat ramp around 8:00 by the light of the FULL BEAVER SUPER MOON.

This is the scene where Linda shares some moon trivia...
The term 'Beaver Moon' comes from different of cultures and societies that used the Moon as a calendar to track the course of the year.
During the month of November, beavers are particularly active as they prepare for winter, building dams and stocking up food.
So it makes sense that our ancestors might have marked this activity by naming November's full Moon after the furry creatures.
However, there is another reason why November's full Moon is known as the Beaver Moon, and that's because beavers were once extensively hunted for their fur.
As is the case with every full Moon nickname, this full Moon won't look any different to any other full Moon of the year.
At least, not because it's a Beaver Moon, anyway. The November full Moon will technically be bigger and brighter because it's a so-called supermoon.
