Portland Webworks recently sponsored Kayak Rendezvous Inaugural
paddle 2002. Kayak Rendezvous is a day long sea kayaking event that
takes place on the waters of Casco Bay. The event raises awareness
of the sensitive ecology of the bay's islands while raising funds
for two worthy causes- Maine Audubon and Rippleffect.

Matt hit the water with the rest of the paddlers and spent an informative
and enjoyable day exploring the waters of Casco Bay.
