Update 2020-11-30: Cancelled due to weather.
Update 2020-11-04: Rescheduled a day earlier, for Sunday.
Leisurely Sunset and Full Moon Paddle. It will probably be cold. Dress warmly in layers.
When:
Gather 4:45 PM, launch 5:00 PM, end 7 PM, Sunday, November 29, 2020
Moonrise is at 5:13 PM and sunset is at 5:31 PM, so the moon will actually be up Sunday before the sun sets.
Put In: Banks Lake Boat Ramp, 307 Georgia 122, Lakeland, GA 31635, in Lanier County.
Take Out: Banks Lake Boat Ramp
Bring: the usual personal flotation device, boat, paddles, food, drinking water, warm clothes, and first aid kit. Also trash pickers and trash bags: every WWALS outing is also a cleanup.
Lights: You must have a light for your boat or some type of light to have on yourself (glow sticks work well, or head lamp, flashlight, etc.) so other boaters can see you in the dark. It will be totally dark after sunset. You must wear a PFD. A whistle is not required, but it’s a good idea in the dark. Mosquitoes can be bad at dusk so come prepared.
Boats: Kayaks are available to borrow but please let us know at least 2 days prior to the event. Bring your own if you have it. Thanks to Banks Lake Outdoors for free boat rental for these WWALS Full Moon Paddles.
Free: This outing is free to WWALS members, and $10 (ten dollars) for non-members.
You can pay the $10 at the outing, or online:
