Our group will launch at 9:45 AM, paddle in West Grand Traverse Bay, along the shore past Sunset Park, the Maritime Academy, and downtown Traverse City.   Our goal is to get up close and personal to the Nina and Pinta, which are currently docked at the Clinch Park Marina.  If we like, we can continue west, past the Open Space, volleyball courts, West End Beach and Greilickville.  We can take a break for stretching or other comforts at either West End or Clinch Park beaches.  Bring a water bottle and a snack.  If anyone wants to go out for lunch afterwards, we can do that.

The forecast is for warm weather and light winds; we anticipate being out on the water about 2 hours.  Maybe we'll take a swim break, in which case we can change to dry clothes back at Bryant Park.

This should be an easy, safe way to see downtown TC from the water.  There might be some boat wakes to navigate, but we will be close to shore and it should be a pleasant paddle.  All kayakers are welcome!
