Non-members are welcome to come along on trips. We hope you will enjoy the group enough to join. WARNING: The outings listed here are NOT guided trips or lessons. Our volunteer coordinators do not necessarily have training in water safety, first aid or any other outdoor or boating skills. They do not necessarily carry any emergency equipment. Boating and other outdoor activities always involve serious risk. All participants are responsible for assessing the appropriateness of their physical condition, skills and equipment for a particular trip and using their own judgment about potentially dangerous situations. If you are not sure that your skills or equipment are adequate, discuss this with the coordinator before the trip date. Participate at your own risk.  See About our Trips for more information.   Want to sign up for a trip; Contact the Trip Coordinator at least a couple days prior to trip for details. Before the trip you will be asked to sign a liability waver. Each participant must have a properly fitting PFD with them and should be wearing it under most circumstances.  Have a favorite trip you'd like to coordinate for the club?
