Welcome

Welcome to the Georgia Sea Kayakers web site.  We are an informal group of paddlers who enjoy sea kayaking and the camaraderie of fellow paddlers.  Through the volunteer efforts of our members, we facilitate paddling trips, skills improvement and safe practices.  While our name implies vast open oceans, our paddling typically includes  an interesting mix of rivers, lakes, swamps, salt water marshes and coastal ocean.

News Update

Based on feedback at the 2010 Trip Planning meeting, a new section has been added to the web site.  Check out the new 'Local' menu option which lists local trips designed to make it easier to fit paddling into busy schedules.   Please note, however, that the list is still tentative.  Any suggestions you might have to improve locations, routes, dates or times would be very much appreciated.  Also, coordinators are needed for each trip.  If you have suggestions or would like to volunteer as a coordinator, please send an email to administrator@georgiakayakers.com or post a comment on the Local Trips discussion forum.  The schedule, at least for the early trips, will be finalized on February 20th.
