Seven lively ladies bringing boats met Wednesday, April 7th at the north shore of Lady Bird Lake at the Rendon boat launch ready for the challenge of being filmed having a wonderful time on the water.
Maria’s granddaughter and her “beau” Pablo were filming from a drone. They were waiting as the group headed west toward the Congress Avenue Bridge. He is sharing with us some of the pictures he took and Maria will see if she can show the video in the next virtual meeting, and we have some photos below.
In the early morning light, with the lake smooth and reflective, in the company of new and old friends, having a wonderful time turned out to be a snap And locating a flotilla of boats of different sizes and configurations spread across the width of the lake turned out to be easy for the drone pilot.
The trip all the way to the First St. bridge took about 40 minutes. The return trip, past the Boardwalk and toward the Oracle building on the south shore seemed shorter., there was some discussion about the current, which in my experience always goes the way you aren’t.. The lure of barbecue or tacos at Papalote was enough to inspire Linda BW, Christine F., Dawn K., or Nancy L to prolong their trip. However, in true TOWN spirit Linda F. and new member Phyllis P. had some great tacos at Papalote on S. Congress, while Maria and her camera crew ordered a big tray of fabulous barbecue.
Surely we can do that next time! Watch this space for kayaking news.
