Moon Light Paddle at Rendezvous- Friday Night

[MStrobel]

This weekend there will be an almost full moon up throughout the evenings, so (weather and clouds permitting) we will be having an evening paddle as part of our Rendezvous activities. We will be leaving from the landing area just south of the Camp Couchdale Chapter House at 10:00p.m. FRIDAY and plan to be out for approximately 1 hour.

In addition to the normal requirement of having a lifejacket, all boats must also display a white light, preferably a lantern that can be seen from 360 degrees or if that is not available, a flashlight that shines a white light. A head lamp would be OK, but I would suggest bringing a second handheld flashlight that you could use to signal any oncoming boats. This is required my law. The biggest danger of paddling at night is from a fisherman in a small powerboat that is not expecting to see any other boats on the water, much less a low-to-the-water kayak or canoe.

Great idea! White, red and green battery powered glowsticks can be found at Walmart and many outdoor stores for about $5. I love paddling by moonlight.

This is scheduled for Friday night. Good chance of clouds. Saturday might be a better night, but I will not be staying over Saturday night, so somebody else is welcome to organize something for Saturday if they want.
