Mid-Atlantic Paddlers Association

Twelve guests joined eight MAPA members for "bring a friend" day. The weather was overcast, just a light sprinkle here and there and the conditions were flat. The Force Five went out around Fort Wool twice and once more out to end of the bridge on South Island and back. Folks got to paddle the Force Five, Malia, and the truly brave tried out the three OC-1's and one surf-ski. Yes, Virginia there was some swimming. Mark your calendars for the next "bring a friend" dates: Wed Sept 7th at 5:30 PM, and Sat Sept 17th at 8:30 AM. For more information contact Tim Jones at noreasterkayaking@yahoo.com. Rusty
