Here's a look at past Paddle OUT Activities:
June 2014 Coastal Cleanup and Paddle OUT!
The Club paddled out of Battery Park to Lafayette Park and back. Great time was had by all as we scouted out the Lafayette Pier as a site for the Coastal Cleanup on Saturday September 20, 2014. More to come concerning the Paddle Club's involvement by "yak"in the Coastal Cleanup. Lois Swaboda will be the contact person for the FCP Club Coastal Cleanup.

April 1st Saturday Paddle
Apalachicola: Saturday April 5th, 10am @ 10foot Hole
This was our first 1st Saturday Paddle - 32 paddlers met at 10foot Hole and paddled 30 minute to stage a "mock kayak raft" in preparation for the Guinness World Record Attempt in May. Kayak and canoes paddled from the 10foot hole boat launch across the Apalachicola River through Crooked Channel out into East Bay and "rafted up" for 30 seconds. It was a Great Event and we appreciate the support of: Apalachicola Boat Rentals, Apalachicola Grill, Journey's of SGI and Wefing's Marine.
