I've known Lesli and Scott for years but this is the first time we've had the chance to go out for a paddle. We were all delighted they decided to come along and we're all looking forward to a summer of paddling fun. Y'all are looking good!
BTW Michelle took this picture, I stole it from her facebook page (shhhh).

Kevin and Michelle in the tandem. I think this might have been the first kayaking paddle for Michelle. We're sure glad she came along.

Mare lookin comfortable and at ease as usual. I think Mare must have been born on the water.

The folks in the tandem boats waiting for us slow pokes to catch up.

Those paddlers in the tandem boats can really cover some water once they get going. Way off in the distance the front two boats are both tandems.

This was taken at our destination, Rooke Higgins Park which is no longer open or maintained in anyway. I'm glad the county left the boat dock and ramp when they closed it down.
