Please plan to arrive by 5:30 p.m. to prep your boat so that we can be on the water no later than 5:45 p.m. We will enjoy the view while paddling through the cypress trees before it gets dark while we look for birds, gators and bats. The sun sets 6:23 p.m. and the moon rises 6:39 p.m.

Bring: the a light for your boat or some type of light to have on yourself (glow stick, head lamp, or flashlight), and bring a rope for your boat. You must wear a PFD.
