2012: Post 29 - Night Club Paddle

For some time now Alex McGruer has lead a KNL night club paddle out of Avondale.  The last three years Tony Roestenberg has organized a second yearly venture into paddling in the darkness.  I missed Alex's night paddle this year, but did not miss Tony's Harvest Moon Paddle...

Last night 15 club members in 13 kayaks (we had two doubles) showed up for a moonlight paddle from St. Philips to Topsail Beach... It's difficult to get good pics in the dark but here's a few to share...

Always nice to have a fire on the beach...

Sean and Cheryl purchased a new double kayak just a little while ago.  While coming back from Topsail Beach I noticed Cheryl had stopped paddling and was letting Sean do all the work... I pulled alongside and joked that Sean only bought the double so that Cheryl could be his 'spare paddle holder'... All in jest, guys...

Thanks to everyone who showed up; it was a great night and lots of fun.  Also, see Tony's blog entry on last nights paddle...
