We will meet at the launch point at 8:30 a.m. to have all our kayaks in the water by 9:00 a.m. We will paddle (slow, easy pace - ideal for beginners) around the Sister Keys (with a stretch b r e a k m i d - w a y through the outing) until about 1200 p.m. followed by a YAHOO lunch at the Mar Vista. The cost for the YAHOO’s is still only $25/person, which includes a kayak and all necessary equipment (paddle, seat, life vest and whistle). If you bring your own kayak, the cost is $10. We must rent at least 10 kayaks from John Sarkozy to make this trip possible.
