August celebrated our 129th Sunset Race on the second Thursday of the month. This month, we were going downstream from Greentree ramp in Kirkwood to the Meramec Marina. There, we’ll tie up the boats and get some pizza and beer before heading back upstream. Eight paddlers made the trip. its always interesting taking over the marina tying up boats anywhere we can get space.
Look closely and you’ll actually see three kayaks in this photo.
Bernie didn’t waste any time getting to his beer. His shirt is soaked from the workout, so its okay.
Melissa has never been here before and loves the vibe!

Melissa wanted to see how to get from the marina to land, and loves it.

Looking upriver on the way back. JoJo is in the middle with Melissa in front of the canoe. We had a fun time chatting and paddling.
The Sunset Race is always a blast. Join us any time and paddle with friends!
