PFDs (life vests) are required on all RICKA and Blackstone Valley Paddle Club trips. Please stay out of channels and be aware of boating traffic. Canoes and kayaks do not have the right of way. Note: Inflatable PFDs (life vests) are not acceptable for paddling on RICKA Flatwater trips or Blackstone Valley Paddle Club trips for safety reasons. Any paddle sport is an assumed risk sport. Some aspects of canoeing and kayaking involve the risk of serious injury or death. The Rhode Island Canoe and Kayak Association, although safety conscious, cannot guarantee your personal safety in club activities. The people who coordinate RICKA trips are responsible for setting a meeting time and how to get to the put-in and take-out. The trip coordinators are unpaid volunteers who are not professionals. They are not and cannot be responsible for determining the adequacy of your skill level, your personal safety, well-being, Report broken links, questions or concerns to Cheryl Thompson If you would like to sign up for the flatwater and BVPC e-mail list, contact the Flatwater/BVPC group and write e-mail list in the subject line. |
