 This class is designed for those paddlers who want to venture into

day with some planning and quickly set out on our journey across the
bay.
This is a chance to put your essential strokes to work in an
ocean environment complete with some wind and wave action, and to
broaden your skill set with basic navigation techniques, marine weather
analysis and trip planning including float plans, risk assessment and
emergency preparedness. Read more...
