If you belong to a paddling group, now is a good time to start thinking about what trips and events you want to have for this coming paddling season. Barbara and I belong to the
Chesapeake Paddlers Association, and we had our second trip planning meeting yesterday. There are now several dozen trips and events planned for this season, which is plenty to give most of our 500+ fellow members something to do between March and November. If you don't yet belong to a group and want to paddle with other like-minded people, now is also a good time to find a local group and join up.
