This is a simple afterwork flat water paddle. I’d like to paddle up the Maryland side, explore, and visit on the water. Afterwards, we can think about visiting the Old Brogue Irish Pub, Old Brogue Irish Pub, https://oldbrogue.com/, for dinner and a pint. I’ll ask for outdoor seating. Weather and temps look good. Rentals are available so make your own arrangements. Don‘t tell the park you are with a group as they will charge to a group fee. By signing up you accept all risks and no one will be held responsible or liable. You are required to wear a PFD.

Join us for an after-work paddle down the Potomac from Anglers Inn to Lock 10. Meet at Lock 10 by 6:00 to consolidate boats, leave shuttle cars, and drive up to Anglers. Depending on the interests of who shows up, we can paddle up to the Difficult Run chutes before heading downstream. We then take a route through three named rapids: Offut, Yellow Falls, and Stubblefield. Max: Class II+. If you haven‘t been on this stretch, you have a treat in store. With sunset at 8:35, we‘ll be off the river with plenty of light. You may simply drop in, but knowing who‘s coming makes planning the shuttle easier. And I‘m happy to answer questions from newcomers to town about the route. contact David Cottingham at dcottingham7@icloud.com or text at 202-699-1277

An introduction to the world of stand-up paddleboarding. Many of us (like the program chairman) are so set in our ways. So, this evening, let us get off our knees and butts and see what this stand-up stuff is all about. And to do so, we have invited the pro, Greg Miller, Paddlestroke SUP, who many of us have had the pleasure of meeting when launching at Anglers. This will be an in-person meeting, at Anglers, starting at 6:00 PM. No registration necessary. Just show up and have fun.
