Mission
We paddle historic and historically dubious waterways in craft that range from elegant to “found near a bayou.” Wet feet are a membership benefit.
Dry-bag optimism
Capsize grace
Upcoming Events

Glow sticks optional. Common sense not.
October 2026 — Dinghy Derby
No motors. Limited dignity.
Membership
Dues: one life jacket that still clips and a towel you pretend is clean.
