Newsletter, Spring 2008

This last year has had some great kayaking interludes!

Team building day:

Booked by one of our local corporations, this was really fun!
We met for breakfast, paddled and played games, ate pizza for lunch and finished with entering
and crossing the river

A trip to Cape Flattery was truly amazing. Much to our delight, the fog came in and then lifted, the breeze began but then faded, and we had a perfectly fun day exploring the nooks and crannies of the coast. We crossed over to Tatoosh Island for look at the southern point, and then headed back.
