We practice two to three times per week. Each practice session is approximately one hour. We launch from the public docks at Riverplace Marina in downtown Portland. Please plan on arriving at the meeting spot 15 minutes before the listed start time to gather gear, stretch out, and load the boats so we can launch promptly at the start of practice.
