Paddle with Santa at
Wickford Harbor
December 3, 2022 – meet at 11:30 a.m. for a 12:10 p.m. launch
Join us as we escort Santa as he arrives by boat in Wickford Harbor. A wetsuit or drysuit is required.

We will meet at the Wickford Town Dock next to Gardner’s Wharf (170 Main Street, North Kingstown, RI). Please RSVP to Pat Lardner at pslardner@gmail.com so we know how many hats we will need for Santa’s elves.

The Kayak Centre is also paddling with Santa on Friday evening and Sunday afternoon. Launch times those days are 5:00 PM on Friday and noon on Sunday. If you are interested in paddling either of those other two times, please contact the Kayak Centre at 401-295-4400 for more details and to be aware of any changes to that schedule.

Hi Everyone

I will be watching the weather over the next several days for Saturdays paddle with Santa. We will consider Sunday as a rain date if the weather does not cooperate for Saturday. I will post on the message board as we get closer. I am remaining optimistic for a Saturday paddle with Santa, but if it is a wash out, I will plan to lead the paddle on Sunday.

Keep an eye out on the message board for updates.

Hi Everyone,

Looks like Saturday’s weather is not going to cooperate for our Santa Paddle. With a 99% chance of rain by 1pm and wind at 20 mph we will need to move the paddle to Sunday, same time, same location. I will have plenty of Elf hats and 200+ candy canes to pass out to the children on the docks. Sunday’s weather should be sunny and about 42%, wind 6 mph. It will be a nice day for a paddle. Look forward to seeing all you Elfs on Sunday to kick off the holiday season.

I just spoke with the Kayak Centre, they said the town has canceled all events on Saturday and pushed some to Sunday. We may be competing for parking with the Elf Parade participants and probably other events so take that into account when you are planning your departure. I will be there to pddle Sunday.

I'll be there - alternative parking is at Wilson Park - only a 1/2 mile from there to the beach at Gardner’s Wharf. I'll leave early enough that I can still make it on time.

For some reason the message board will not allow us to click on Erik's video. If you cut and paste
