Just weeks away to another Everglades Trip!

On January 28th we'll be on our way to another YBEC Everglades Adventure! This year we'll be adding quite a few more students and staff to the trip. And we'll be bringing our just completed Chesapeake Light Craft kayaks. The guys at Frankford built two Chesapeake 17lt's while the guys at Fair Oaks and East Shore built three more tandems similar to the one built last year at Frankford.
This Friday, the 14th, the Everglades trip will actually begin in earnest with a much shorter trip to the Big Spring High School Pool. There we'll get the opportunity to test our new boats, makes sure we can safely exit and enter the boats and brush up on our snorkeling techniques. With our newly acquired sea kayaking and snorkeling skills, we'll pack up the boats and our gear and leave the snowy, cold North behind us.
