Ghost Ship Paddle

Saturday, Oct 31 - 12:00 PM to 6:00 PM EDT

Difficulty: Easy to Moderate, Sea Kayak and Flat Water 
Expected distance 8-12 miles.

Combined IYAK and HCKC event.

We will meet at the launch site, Tanners Creek Boat Ramp, at noon and launch shortly after that. We will be using the easternmost boat ramp. We will paddle upstream on the Ohio River to see the Ghost Ship. After that we will either paddle further up the Ohio River, downstream to Aurora and beyond, or return back to the ramp and paddle up Tanners Creek, depending on what the group would like to do.

We will eat lunch before we launch, bring a snack for a rest stop during the paddle.

Be sure to dress for cool weather!

Suggested items to bring: Wide brimmed hat, sun block, hand sanitizer, sunglasses, large sponge, bilge pump or container to bail out water, water, snacks, weather radio, towel, change of clothes, water shoes, paddling gloves, rain gear, safety whistle, drybags, Ziplock bags, camera, binoculars, rope, headlamp or flashlight, a sense of adventure, and a good dose of humor.

For clothing try to use something other than cotton, especially since the weather is cool. Polypropylene or polyester are good choices since neither holds water and they wick moisture away from you.

Event hosts reserve the right to cancel due to inclement weather. Any cancellation or adjustment to the schedule will be posted by email the night before or sooner.  This is a combined IYAK and HCKC event.

If you have not done so for this year, PLEASE FILL OUT THE NEW E-WAIVER.   HCKC is moving to a new electronic waiver system instead of our old paper waiver.  This only needs to be completed once each year.  If you have already submitted your e-waiver, you do not need to do it again until next year.  If you are bringing a non-member guest, they should use this e-waiver.
