June 3 Paddle and Practice

Spend about an hour warming up with a paddle on Lake of the Woodlands. Then buoys will be set up for those who want to practice strokes to improve boat control. You can use the buoys or continue to paddle. Be sure to contact the trip coordinator if you plan to attend. If I don't hear from folks, I won't be going.

Beginner 2: Familiarity with basic strokes and can make the boat go straight on flat water typically experienced on Armand Bayou.
