🌕 WOW… What a night! 🚣✨

Sunday night’s “Once in a Blue Moon” Full Moon Paddle was absolutely beautiful.

40+ paddlers joined us for an unforgettable evening on the water as we watched the sunset fade, the moon rise, and the river come alive after dark. From calm water and glowing skies to laughter, wildlife, and memories made — it was one of those nights that reminds us why we’ve been doing these paddles for a decade now.

A HUGE thank you to everyone who joined us! ❤️

(And yes… if you missed it, you definitely missed a good one 😏)

📸 We’ll be posting LOTS of photos from last night — tag yourself, tag your friends, and share your favorites!

BUT don’t worry…
