The weeks following our first paddling trip lead to many trips to "Go With the Flow", our favorite outfitters. Our $350.00 budget soon blossomed to over $1,000.00 for each of us with the purchase of our Wilderness System Tarpon 140's and a multitude of accessories. Taking the advice of the owners of the store and spending almost our original budget on a paddle was well worth the investment (as we later learned paddling in Jamaica with rental paddles). Naming our kayaks became a community event with a flurry of emails giving ideas for songs to use as names. Suzzette chose Keb Mo's "Dangerous Mood", http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_U37JOVoDIE Gail's choice was Outkast's "Idlewild Blue" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dkpZhEcaMI, Indiana girl Rhonda picked John Mellencamp's "Cherry Bomb" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGoQNXWgopg. Two founding members have yet to name their kayaks. Our two newest members, are working on names for their kayaks.
