Full Moon Paddle for March.

***** TRIP COMPLETED *****
.
TRIP REPORT -

The night was absolutely perfect with clear skies and a big, bright moon. Four members and three quests went on this trip. We met at the lock dock and launched just behind schedule, then headed north toward the St. John's River. After about an hour paddle we stopped just south of the River at a small beach, to take a stretch break, chat and enjoy the gorgeous night. We then headed back to the lock, paddling with the moon in our view the entire time! It was beautiful. The boat traffic was almost non-existent and we had the Intracoastal to ourselves. Afterwards a few members went to Al's Pizza to enjoy a snack.
