| 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, or
happiness. Trips are group events. You, and you alone, are responsible for
yourself |

PFDs (life vests) are required on all RICKA and Blackstone Valley

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.

is responsible for his or her own training in boating and rescue
techniques, equipment, and personal well-being when engaging in or
attending club-organized activities. |
