Bach Symphony Morning
Date: Friday, March 7, 2008
Time: Meet at 10:00 am, performance is at 11:00 am.
Level: Easy/Beginner
Location: Jacoby Hall, Downtown Jacksonville
Length of Trip: approximately 4 hours
Trip Leader: Lisa Beardsley
Trip Info: As you all know, or may not know, I can only take so much of swamps, alligators, sweat and smelling like an ox. So I am offering the club a cultural opportunity. This trip will be limited to 3 and maybe 5 members, excluding myself. The symphony is gratis, or as we like to say in the back country, free. I will accept responses on a first come, first serve basis, if you would like to attend, be sure to sign up early. The performance is part of the Mayo Clinic Coffee Series, so we will keep with the theme and arrive at Jacoby Hall in time to enjoy a cup of coffee, while we relax and look at the St. John's River. We will then attend the performance of Bach and Sons.

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.
