This paddle will be a distance of 14.8 miles and again due to the distance is rated a intermediate paddle for boats at least 14 ft or longer.

Weather forcast currently is for 65 with a 40% chance of showers.  Bring your rain gear,  water, snack, sun screen and don’t forget your coastguard approved PFD and whistle.  You are required to wear you PFD on all Longbay Paddlers club paddles.

Due to the distance of this paddle boats 14 feet or longer are required.  Water temperatures will be cold so bring a change of clothes in the event of a capsize.  Also dress warm, wear something windproof, spraykirts if you have them, snacks and water.  The river will be high and fast.  We will attempt to make two rest stops if possible.  The weather forcast is for showers and 55.

This Sundays paddle (Nov 15) will be on the Pee Dee River at Galivants Ferry. Plan to meet at 1:00 PM in the Exxon Gas/Cafe parking lot just before the bridge on the right side of highway 501. This paddle will be approxmately 10 miles and will require shutteling autos to the put in off higway 904. Kayaks 14 ft, or longer recommended. With the recent heavy rains the current should still be swift and high water that will make it a easy down steam paddle. Bring water and a snack. The weather forcast calls for partly cloudy and 72. This will be the last scheduled paddle of the year. Hope to see a good turn out.

This Saturdays paddle will be on the Black River  from Pump House to Pea House landing a distance of 10 miles with a break at about the six mile mark.  Plan to meet in Georgetown in the Burger King parking lot at the intersection of Highway 17 and 701 at 8:00 AM.  From there we will caravan to the put in site at Pump house landing, unload gear and kayaks and proceed to Pea House landing with sufficient transportation for the return trip.  This will be a downstream paddle of a very wild a scenic section of the Black River.  Kayaks of 14 feet or longer recommended.   Bring water, snack or lunch, sun screen and don’t forget your PFD and whistle.
