The
Adventures of Super Boo: Friday May 9th. 7:00p.m.
The Everglades Challenge- One of the toughest
small boat challenges in the world, as seen through the eyes of
an eleven year old and her Dad. The Everglades Challenge is an unsupported,
expedition style adventure race for kayaks, canoes, and small boats.
The distance is roughly 300 nautical miles depending on your course
selection. The course runs from Fort De Soto to Key Largo, Florida.
Super Boo had been thinking for some time
on how she could help her Mom and others who have breast cancer.
So after talking with her Dad, they came up with an idea of raising
awareness and money through participation in the Everglades Challenge.
Please
join us for an evening of adventure, awareness, and discussion.

Where: Burros Park on Lake Mendota, Madison, Wisconsin
Last year we had 16 canoes, kayaks, and wild
incarnations of both
on the water. Not much wind, but spirits were high. A fine time
was
had by all.
This years
schedule includes a morning of talking about, looking at, and trying
out each others rigs, followed by a full afternoon of cruising on
Lake Mendota. Leaving enmass from Burros Park at about 1:00 p.m.
we will sail around Picnic Point, recrossing the Lake to Governor's
Island, then along the cliffs of Maple Bluff back to Burros Park.
Lake Mendota is one of 4 natural lakes in the Madison Area with
21.6 miles of shoreline.
**Even if you do not sail bring your canoe,
kayak, or rowboat. Join us on the water.**
**Curious Visitors without boats are also
encouraged to stop by, hitch a ride, learn why canoe and kayak sailing
is one of the coolest ways to "Mess about in Boats" ***
