Sierra Club, Nassau County group We had 38 participants....thanks to all
Sierra Club, Nassau County group We had 7 boats and 16 people, plus Chip and Iona (training staff) in 2 more boats. This was about right - not easy to keep track after dark of any more. A BEAUTIFUL night, no bugs, and too few alligators. I never put on bug spray, heard ONE mosquito, and that was on the way back in. Chip says that's typical, more in ...the scrub onshore than out on the swamp in October. Definitely something to consider as an annual effort!
