WHAT TO EXPECT: We will paddle as a group. We will make stops along the way, and will stay in our kayaks the entire 2 hours while paddling. If we need to stop and get out for some reason, we can figure that out along the way.

We will turn around as time permits and do not have any planned stops on the way back to our dock. We will paddle back as a group and can chat along the way back - but we just paddle back as a group.
