Downstream Paddle on the beautiful Sebastian River

We will celebrate Presidents’ Day on the Sebastian River.

Meet at Canoe Launch Cove at 8:30 am.
9800 Canoe Launch Cove, Sebastian, FL 32958­

We will paddle downstream (approximately 6 miles) to Dale Wimbrow Park, 11805 Roseland Road, Sebastian, FL 32958­

This trip will require a shuttling of vehicles/people (not boats). We will meet at the Canoe Cove Launch. Unload all boats; Leave a few people inflating / building their boats. Shuttle most of the cars to Dale Wimbrow Park ( 7 minute drive), drive a minimum of cars back to launch. Paddle downstream. Shuttle people back to pick up remaining vehicles. This way no one has to transport an extra kayak.

Bring lots of water, floppy hat, sunscreen, snacks/lunch, whistle, and PFD. If you need help unloading/loading your boat please just ask. Contact Darryl if you need to rent a boat. This trip would be appropriate for inflatable kayaks, canoes, and SUPs. The river is very narrow in the beginning with fallen trees and stumps, but it widens out a bit soon and is a very enjoyable paddle. How long will it take? It depends on how fast we paddle. If we take a couple of breaks I estimate 3 hours. We will put the slower paddlers in the front of the group to set the pace.

Please check the Meetup site the night before the trip. The weather in Florida is ever-changing, so we will monitor the forecast and make decisions accordingly.

Get that boat out of the garage and onto the water!
