Hello Fellow Gators!
We had a great time at the kayak/paddleboard event. We enjoyed paddling along the shore of the Intracoastal and stopping at the sandbar. We were fortunate to have beautiful weather and a nice breeze. We had even more fun afterwards at Blue Pointe Bar and Grille.
I am looking forward to seeing you at some of our events and meeting our new members.
