NEW INFO IN RED
This meetup event replaces the one we were arranging for Turkey Creek with MelBORING No More meetup group. Since people who have not paddled before are coming, we organizers have decided that the creek is too difficult for beginner paddlers. So, we're setting it up for the Indian River Lagoon.
Those with extra kayaks or empty seats please indicate such in your RSVP. If you need a seat, also indicate in your RSVP. Keep in mind that, as it turns out, we may have only a few available seats/kayaks. If we don't have sufficient seats for everyone, we may shuttle people out to the spoil island a few at a time in the kayaks available. It is only a short distance from shore to the island. If you want to rent a kayak, Kayaks Etc will have kayaks available on site for half day rentals with free delivery to Riverview Park and pickup at Capt. Hirams. It is $25 for a single seat and $40 for tandem half a day rental. THIS IS $10 OFF REGULAR PRICE! Thanks to Kayaks Etc.
Lets meet at Riverview Park....1/2 mile south of Captain Hirams on US1 where we will put in for a relaxing half day of paddling and then fun at the restaurant. We will paddle out to the spoil islands.....play some games..blind folded games, tug of war...and relax on the beach...those with extra energy, feel free to explore the surounding islands by kayak or get some kayaking lessons from more experienced yakers. Then we will all paddle over to Captain Hirams for an afternoon of socializing....drinks, good eats, good music...
We will leave some cars at the park and other cars at Capt. Hirams to allow flexibility in coming and going.
Those not desiring to meet us on kayaks, feel free to drive in and meet us at Hirams around noonish. Hope to see you there.....
Haley, please do contact the kayak rental.... maybe they'll give us a good rate if we're talking about 20 or so kayaks ~ Thanks
Nice paddle---an hour drive for me-can we plan something to do down that way after the paddle?? I have my own kayak.
Haley,
Do you have a head count on who needs a kayak and are youmaking plans to rent some? Call me tongiht....321-243-6706 Sharon
Check with Billy for his and Dannys....
Just want to remind you all that I will need a kayak. Let me know if I need to rent one.
I have free kayaks available and a trailer but no one to drive them. Any volunteers?
Haley, does this mean that the kyaks will be there ? Or do we have to call Kayak Etc to reserve one ?
I'm keeping track on both meetup sites and we have only 3 or 4 seats available and about 20 people signed up! Kayaks Etc is willing to deliver a bunch of kayaks but you'd have to pay a rental fee. If anyone is interested I will find out how much it costs. Let me know.
