Preparing for a Spring and Summer of Mendocino Kayaking

Jeff and I are just back from our annual spring retreat and are getting excited about our Spring and Summer Kayaking Season on the Mendocino Coast.  An article "Paddling Along the Rivers of Mendocino County'" recently appeared on KCET's SoCal Wanderer site.  It has us jazzed about the magical kayaking opportunities that we provide for individuals and families of all ages and abilities.

This class is geared toward locals who want to learn to kayak and meet others to paddle with.
