Six TOWNIES met at the Rowing Dock on Wednesday to try our luck on Ladybird Lake.  Stephanie N., tried out Diane’s kayak, and was excitedly anticipating the arrival of her new 26 Pound Perception Prodigy XS kayak.  Nancy L. joined us from San Antonio; in addition, Judy A, Gloria W and Diane’s friend from the Wildflower center, Courtney S all enjoyed some rather aerobic paddling due to some wind from the west.  We started out heading toward Red Bud Isle as we were hoping to catch a tail wind on our way back.  I must report, not a single person complained about the challenge to their arm strength in paddling so hard.  Not many birds were spotted; however there were some rather pretty water Iris that on further research by Gloria turned out to be a non-native species.

Next kayaking is with Linda F at 5:30pm at the Rowing Dock on April 20.  DianeN
