RICKA Santa Paddle 2025 Saturday December 6, 11:00 AM

Posted by Pat Lardner on 10/31/2025, 10:01 am

Annual RICKA Santa Paddle at Wickford Town Dock, 170 Main Street, Wickford RI (to the right of Gardner's Seafood). RSVP so that I may have a count on how many Elf hats will be needed. I will provide the Green Elf hats. Be sure to decorate your boats and bring lots of holiday cheer.

We will launch from the Town Dock at noon to be at the dock at Brown street by 12:30. Please allow enough time to decorate your kayaks and canoes. Be sure to wear a dry suit or wet suit as this time of year we dress for the water temperature not necessarily the air temperature.

Hi Everyone, weather looks like it will cooperate for tomorrow's paddle. Currently Wickford is forecasted to be between 40 to 43 degrees at the time of the paddle with wind around 2 to 3 miles an hour. Cloudy sky but not too bad for December. Ho ho ho, looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow.

Another fun year in the books! There was even a happy ending for the poor cookie, which went for a harrowing ride and lived to tell the tale.
