Itinerary:

Join us as we paddle over to an island on Lake Lanier known as Daffodil Island because it is known for having wild daffodils bloom on it the first part of March each year. We'll padle around the island and then across the water. From there we'll paddle across the main body to Aqualand Marina in hopes of catching the Lanier Sailing club regatta in sail on the lake. We'll atake a break and stretch our legs, have a snack, and then we'll then make our approximate 2 mile return trip to Vann Tavern park.
