St Patricks Day Paddle – 2020

A suspenseful paddle

This one went right down to the wire. The weather report was intimidating.

Pregame Chatter

If No Shuttling is allowed we will circle a section of Kent lake so long as the water is not frozen. 
And it looks like it won’t be Frozen.  It’s already clear of ice according to famed winter kayaker Michael Ruddell, and the temperatures throughout the week will reach the 60s

If Shuttling is allowed we will go below the Dam and paddle to the River Bend Picnic area, on the Huron River.

After the paddle, the plan is to convene at the Kensington Grill for Lunch and drinks.

This will mark our return to an old, favorite haunt, though there may be some lingering concerns over medical safety.  At this point, many of us have been vaccinated.
