Fun exciting day on the water - This was a fun, exciting and informative excursion. Dress warm as it can get chilly out on the water especially when going fast. Out your guide Keegan kept it fun. Cruising at relatively high speeds while skipping on top of the small waves was a blast.

This adventure is perfect for those looking to start the year with a splash of excitement and a dash of history.
