Faulkner’s Island Open House Paddle

From Rich Wells

I would like to thank you for a great visit to Faulkner’s Island yesterday. The 25 kayakers from the Connecticut Sea Kayaker’s Association (ConnYak) who paddled out and back enjoyed of visit. It was great to visit the island that so many of us enjoy paddling around. Some of our group paddled over to Goose Island and were able to see the seals. The trip back was a little bumpy, but everyone returned with smiles on their faces!

A number of the members of our group organize paddles on the weekends. Erik Baumgartner was the organizer of this paddle. You can find his contact information, a description of the paddle and pictures at the following MeetUp Group site
