The theme of today’s trip was Subtraction and Addition. One person (and they know who they are) called the Trip Coordinator’s Home Number at 0840 for an 0900 rendez-vous! While other folks came out but then couldn’t paddle due to feeling ill or a punctured boat. Parking was at a premium because of Mike Aronoff's Water Safety Class was meeting at the same time. We had the following 19 folks on the trip:
OC1s: Brian Collins, Gary and Ginny Quam, Hendrik van Oss, Bob Raab, Tim Tilson, Bob Whiting,
K1: Gus Anderson, Barb Brown, Bruce Campbell, Jim Carton, Ken Cohen, Lisa Laden, Gordon Lang, Wayne McDaniel Barbara Rawdon, Kathleen Sengstock, Jackie Hoglund.
Ducky: Boat George Faraday.
Total paddlers: 19.
After splitting into two groups we paddled across the river, and through the canal. Other than a glorious summer day, nothing much else to report. A number of folks attained back up.
Naturalist Corner: Hendrik reports 29 turtles.
