Ocean Tribe Paddlers to host canal paddle
The Sanibel Sea School’s Ocean Tribe Paddling Club organizes a meet-up each month for paddling enthusiasts to enjoy a group paddle, share tips and ideas, and meet new friends to paddle with.
The next paddle will be held on July 17 from 10:30 a.m. to noon.
Meet at the Sanibel Boat Ramp; parking is available for $5 per hour or with a valid parking permit. From the put-in, it is a quick paddle east to the Sanibel canals. Once in the canals, we can loop around, check out the various wading birds, observe mangrove crabs as they scuttle to and fro, and enjoy looking at Sanibel from a new perspective.
Those interested in joining the paddle should bring their own paddling equipment; kayaks, canoes, stand up paddleboards and other paddle-powered vessels are all welcome. A limited number of loaner boards are available, but must be reserved via email in advance.
The first paddlers event is free, then it is requested that a membership be purchased.
RSVP to oceantribepaddlers@sanibelseaschool.org. Be sure to visit the Ocean Tribe Paddlers Facebook page for weather updates; any schedule changes will be posted at least one hour prior to the event.
