“ Many thanks to Meri & the crew, for all that you guys do! ” -
“ I appreciate the time and patience that everyone took with us "newbies" today. The weather was beautiful and it was a fun day onthe water. My apologies to everyone I accidentally hit with the boat :-) ” -
“ I saw people I knew an met some new people. I had a nice ride on the lake; very pleasant experience in the company of nice people who share the same interests. ” -
Magellan“ Good to see everyone...from brand newbie to Meri....beginners...
if you keep coming out with us, you won't be a beginner at the next beginner day in May (deep thoughts) ”
-
“ It was a beautiful day on Lake Parvin! I really enjoyed learning about the different types of kayaks, and I'm sold on getting a tsunami . . . someday! I also enjoyed the paddling tips. I was impressed by the professionalism, friendliness, and knowledge of Meri and her team. Great job!!! ” -
“ What an awesome day. Thanks, everyone, for coming out and listening to me ramble about boats. :) We had a great turnout of both experienced and beginner kayakers, and I hope everyone had a good time. We'll be holding the next Beginner day in May, so come join us! ” -

“ did i miss the cookies? ” -
Vicky G (+1 guest)“ So good to be back on the water! Thanks for putting this together - a lot of great info. My friend, Stacie is hooked and I have recruits for the next one! ” -
“ The intent of the group was to provide new paddlers to the sport. It was to give them an opportunity to understand the basics with an emphasis towards safety. The casual setting allowed for open dialogue which enhanced the participation. ” -
“ Good afternoon; Parvin was busy with a lot of fishermen and newbie paddlers!! The orientation from Meri, Boy, Hack & Scott was very informative! Nicely done, and I am sure everyone appreciated the basics. ” -

It looks like a good day was had by all - good to hear. I was too sacked out to go besides my transport truck wasn't here either, next time.
Thanks to Meri, Hack, Boy, Fluff, Cookies and everyone else who made today so much fun. Thanks for sharing your yaks, info, muscle power, laughs and cookies :-)
Marilyn...I'm sure we will have some experienced paddlers there at the rentals to assist anyone that needs help. ;)
just spoke to the rental place - they said we need to paddle from their spot to the Meetup spot. They will give some initial paddle instruction for anyone who has never paddled.
For renters: Cheryl recommends coming at 12:00 to get the boat ready at the Almond Road Entrance. The rental cost is $12 with group discounted rate for two hours or $20 for three hours. They will close at 5 p.m. so you can also rent additional hours before they close.
Note to Larry...just look for the loons out on the lake ;)
Looks like we will have great weather for this! We'll be bringing a bunch of boats for you to try out, and a lot of gear as well. If you are planning to rent, don't forget to contact Al & Sam's ahead of time. The boat rental is across the lake from where we are meeting, so plan to either arrive early and paddle over to Fisherman's Landing, or to pick up your boat after the demo and discussion.
