Our Group



Welcome Paddlin' Chix! Our group of women, who enjoy kayaking, canoeing and rafting, come from diverse backgrounds and share not only experiences, but a unique bond as well. As we explore new rivers, ocean and lake places to take our watercraft, we want to provide a safe venue where women can come and connect with other women, building what we hope will be lasting friendships.

This is our spot to centralize and journal our doings. We can view planned trips, where to shop for equipment, training topics, what to bring on paddle trips, share pictures, stories and more! As we continue to build this place, I hope that it will become an excellent resource for us as we look forward to our many paddle trips together.

Time

I know its time to start writing again when story starts begin swirling in my head, or I find myself thinking about crafting a story about..... whatever my imagination has me ruminating on at the moment.  Yes, I'm still here, and have let several posts go by without writing them down. Yet, my own lapse in continuity of post writing is reflective of the cycles I go through in the interests that take my life in so many interesting directions.  It's also a time to tally events and recognize the cumulative effect of experience.
But I dither in reflection.  How about what this blog is all about?  Friends finding kayaking experiences together-what's going on with that?  It still happens, when we can and will.  The open invitation for as many as are interested, and inviting people we know to come experience our kayaking places. Then, each season has its own set of rules as to the best time to kayak and where.  We expand our horizons, searching for challenges, new waterways to explore, favorite places to revisit, and most in the company of fellow travelers. 
Still dithering, it seems!  The point of this post is merely to send  a whisper your way to let you all know this blog is still pretty useful for articles, shopping places, useful information AND contains some nice pictures of the kayaking experience from our corner of the world. 
Summer kayaking is just around the corner, so I'll grab a couple of friends  and see you out there!

p.s.  It would be pretty useful to take in a training, also.  Whether a river safety course, or first aid, it's never to late to brush up on skills that could come in handy someday.
