Evening Paddle - Waterford Boat launch, Mohawk and Hudson
Note: A good rule of thumb to follow is the "120° rule." This means you should wear a wetsuit or dry suit whenever the sum of the air temperature and water temperature is equal to or less than 120°F. Warm weather does not cancel out the danger of cold water. If you don't have the appropriate attire for cold-water paddling, please wait to join us until the water is warmer.
Be on the water at the Waterford boat launch BEFORE 5:00 p.m. Plan to arrive at least 15-30 minutes ahead of launch time. We begin paddling promptly at 5pm.
In Waterford, turn from Broad St. south onto First St. and drive to the boat launch at its end. Or you can launch from Lansingburgh at the end of 123rd St. off of Second Ave./Rt.4 and meet the rest of the group on the Waterford side.
We will paddle upstream on the Hudson to Campbell Island or explore the shores and waterfalls of Peebles Island.
Sign-up at auntmayor@aol.com by noon on the day of the paddle and give your cell phone number for last minute changes.
You must wear a securely fastened PFD, and have a white light and whistle (required!). No cotton clothing.See General Paddling info for evening paddling trips.. "Participant Responsibilities - Albany Chapter ADK" albany.adk.org…
Plan on joining us for the PCM (Paddlers Committee Meeting, all attendees are automatically members of the "Committee") after the outing.
And if the spooky season vibes so move you, costumes and\or decorations are welcome (as long as they don't impede vision or movement - safety first : ) !)
