An opportunity to get on the water and experience the area's allure in a different light. Either the glow of a moon or an array of stars will light your way during a calm and peaceful paddle. This is a short duration tour with the destination less of a concern. The aim of a collectively enjoyed experience and the tides will determine the float plan. Another chance to round-out a land and water day-plan or slip away from an otherwise full schedule. Encouraged for paddlers of all skill levels.
