Ten of us kayaked 5.5 miles on a hot and windy day. It seems like North Lake is always windy. We had an opportunity to practice our team rescue thanks to Laura voluntarily flipping her kayak. The rescue team consisted of Mary Pat, previous synchronized water ballet “diva,” Jean manning the bilge pump and Dave uprighting the kayak. As the photos depict the team mobilized and secured the situation.

Swimming was also in the cards for the ladies. Congratulations to Laura on her maiden kayak under difficult wind conditions. Thanks to Dave for co-leading and  loading the boats on the vehicles.

No root beer floats today, only the real deal.
