2014: Post 25 – Avondale Kayak Night Paddle

Nine kayaks with ten people showed up last night for the club's yearly night paddle out of Avondale....  We had cloud cover, and very little bio-luminescence,.. but the wind was low making it an enjoyable and fun evening on the water.

A few pics to share....

Kayaks were unloaded...

Glow sticks were unwrapped...

A brand new drysuit was worn...

Gear was packed into hatches...

Paddling was started... 

Paddling was continued as darkness intensified... 

Shipwrecks were inspected...

On-water socializing occurred...

Big houses with many lights were checked out....

A fire on the beach was started...

Wieners were roasted...

Food was cooked up...

And finally the lights of Avondale came back into view.

Here's a shot of Alex and his wife, Cecilia...

Alex is the official leader of this yearly paddle, but I have a feeling he is merely just a figurehead.  Cecilia is ever present during these paddles and I think she is quietly leading the leader. 

Thanks to all those who showed up to make it a fun night.
