We get requests for weekday and weekend paddles to accommodate those with different work schedules. We do our best to mix it up. Scheduled dates and launch times are governed by the tides. We plan optimal launch times that aren’t too early and return times that aren’t late. We hope all of our paddling enthusiasts will find options that fit their busy lives. Guests of members are welcome.
