Description: This will be a practice day to provide on-water help with self and assisted kayak rescues.
Location: Ft DeSoto, Arrowhead Picnic Area
Schedule: Saturday, June 9th. Meet at 9:00 and launch by 9:30, returning to the launch site around 2:30. We’ll eat lunch on the beach.
Additional information: Participants must be prepared to spend considerable time in the water. We will review and practice both self rescues and assisted rescues, with the intent of making you more comfortable with offshore paddling in the Gulf.

Difficulty: This paddle is open to all levels although you must be able to swim and perform a wet-exit.
