What a beautiful day to put the boats in the water! Blue skies broke through for even a quick paddling session. Thank you to all the Amazing Volunteers that came out to help. Big Shot Out to CDBA Member and SunBelt Equipment Rental for the forklift to make the job so much easier to get the boats in the river. One boat got a new bottom coat and will go in soon. For now, three boats are ready to go. PADDLES UP! Chris with Dynamic Dragon Racing boats did another fantastic job repairing the boats. Watch for Learn to Paddle and Community Teams Schedule on MEETUP. Visit, celdba.org for more information on schedules, membership, volunteering and festival registration.
See you on the river!
