BCSC Kayak & Paddle Brunch Saturday July 11th
Kathy Rubino and Dave Dunlap’s lake home.
Thank you, Kathy and Dave for hosting the annual kayak and paddle event at your home. The weather was great with a nice breeze and cloudless sky. The group set off from their home for a paddle across Long Lake and back. We guessed that we that we paddled about 3.5 miles round trip. We sat down to a brunch consisting of breakfast tacos, stuffed cabbage rolls, egg casseroles shrimp platter, fruit dishes, blueberry desert, lazy buckeye brownies, and more. Thew group sat on the deck to enjoy the afterglow of the paddle, cool breezes, great conversations until mid-afternoon. A great day with great people. Looking forward next year.
