Write Up:
Thank you to everyone that joined Amy, Charlie and I on the flat water kayaking trip on the Hooch yesterday.  The weather was perfect and the sun was out.  We had a great group of 13 that really pushed themselves.   The Hooch was fairly flat with a small current going downstream.   We launched our kayaks around 1:00 and headed down towards the dam.   It took us about 2 hours and we stopped a local park along the Hooch and grabbed some snacks.   After about 20 munutes we kayaked through the some narrow sections to the dam and then proceeded to turn around.  We battled a little of an upstream current but made it back to our launching spot around 5:30.   It was a great group and at least for me it was a great work out on my sit-on-top.  My arms are a little sore this morning.  Thanks again for coming out and hopefully we can do another trip like this again soon.   Ashley W.
