Hi all,

This is the first ever South East Michigan Kayak Builders Meet at the Beach.

Before things get too cold, lets get together & check out each other's handiwork, share ideas, & maybe even paddle a bit. All are welcome!

Saturday, October 4, 1pm at Eastwood Beach, Stoney Creek MetroPark
(about 30 miles north of Detroit, Michigan)

There is a small ($4.00??) charge to get your car in unless you have an annual pass. Boats on top of a car are free, but boats on a trailer are $4/each.

It's simple paddling and a good place to meet.

It would be great to bring something you made, but certainly not neccesary.

After, we have lots of eateries to choose from. Food is good!

Our standard disclaimer:

Note: This is simply an announcement of where and when we will be kayaking. On the water, winds, waves, and boat traffic can change quickly. Any participation is at your own risk. Please use your knowledge of your kayaking skills, comfort level, and weather conditions to decide whether or not to join us. There are no leaders, lifeguards, or anyone else responsible for the safety of those who choose to participate. Everyone is responsible for their own safety and is expected to use common sense and good judgment on and off the water.
