Can We Be Of Service To You?

(Disclaimer: Pics from 2008 event)

Most outdoor loving people try to do the right thing. They do what they do safely and they are respective of the environment. Many of these folks (including paddlers) go the extra step and offer some service, or give back, to the community. This weekend, as many of us have in the past, local sea kayakers will be volunteering for a local store's Paddle Fest on the Milwaukee River.

Some will prep new paddlers and then lead them on a short trip that goes from out Lake Michigan launch site, into the harbor and up the river to the sponsoring store. Some will teach on the water and ashore.

Others will spend hours chasing down paddlers going "out of bounds" and offering tips to those trying kayaks for the first time. But, most importantly,

we will be there as safety boaters should the call come in. Now, that's service.

Paddle safe...
