5th Annual Illuminata Regatta - Light Up Your Kayak or Canoe

This year will be the 5th Annual Illuminata Regatta! Somehow, in our regattas thus far,we have only attracted daring women boaters, but this year we are going for being a bit more aggressive with making this a coed event, which is to say, ALL ARE WELCOME!  Requirements are having a compentent handle on how to paddle your boat, appropriate clothing, a personal floatation device, a whistl, and no alcohol. So get creative with your lighting and join us! Invite your friends to float or watch!

Date:  Saturday December 19, 2009

Where: Launch from Riverfront Park Boat Dock by the Sternwheeler in Salem, Oregon.  Float in the Slough  (NOT in the main river channel)

Time:  5:00pm - 5:30pm Meet on the dock.  6:00pm launch time.  Usually out of the water around 7 or 7:30pm

Afterwards: Group gathering at a local eatery (to be announced)


RSVP to Jennifer.carley@comcast.net  (I need your preferred contact information for communicating updates about this event)

Lavender Womyn Kayaking Klub

The Lavender Womyn Kayaking Klub is a statewide social/activity network of women who kayak whitewater, flat water, touring.  The Klub gives you an opportunity to find other women to kayak with, make new friends, get announcements, send announcements or messages, share gas, learn about new kayaking areas, learn from each other, and above all, do what we love to do:  KAYAK!

We are a diverse group of women with different skill levels from the beginner to the advanced paddler.  This group is primarily for lesbians (but no one is excluded) who are interested in kayaking.  It is up to you to make this group what you want it to be.  You can organize a 4-hour float trip to a multi-day excursion; add bird watching to the trip, or some whitewater, but whatever you do, just add water!  We welcome all ideas, input, feedback, photos, information, interesting web sites, discussions, etc., anything that will make our group and the community flourish.  Again, just add water and watch it grow!
