                BUDDY UP DAY :

            We plan to match up experienced boaters and less experienced boaters together in one boat.

                (You can mutually choose which boat)  So this is really NOT the day to bring the dog or family,

                your usual navigator is welcome but should be someone who will be a regular boating companion. 

                You will have a list of skills to learn and practice.

                It is best if you are intending to come, that you email me so we can discuss your learning needs
