For ages, poets, authors, and artists have written about full moon magic. It’s something that the Sonoma County Park’s Full Moon Paddle aims to take advantage of, offering kayaking on the Russian River when la luna is her brightest. On August 23, boaters will begin their journey at the Riverfront Regional Park in Healdsburg at 8:30 p.m. and will paddle through night waters until 10 p.m. Paddles, kayaks, and life jackets will be provided. Registration is $35 and parking is $7 (or free for Regional Parks members). Register at parks.sonomacounty.ca.gov or tinyurl.com/j9ev7bmf.
