September Kayaking

Testing a Paddle



Our kayak weekend trip was a true lesson in flexible planning. We had the unfortunate luck to choose the rainiest weekend of the season for our adventure. The group took a vote, and majority didn't rule-the group was split half and half. So, the half of the group that preferred to be dry, enjoyed a water themed Omni film at the Museum of Science-and lunch at the Science cafe, while the half that was willing to brave the elements-even with the risk of a "New England style monsoon"-tried their hand at kayaking. Lucky for the kayakers-after the first 10 minutes, we had a break in the rain. We paddled around Hopkinton State Park, stopping to explore an island or two. Lunch was a tasty treat-and the "paddle mix" (aka trail mix) was great along the way.
