Meet at the Washington Park Boat Launch (actually, the small parking lot next to the boat launch.
Have your boat on the beach and yourself half dressed for launch by 8:30am. We will meet for shore talk at that time.
Burrows and Allen islands is one of my favorite paddles. There is always a lot to see. We will do a figure 8 loop and enjoy the wild shores of Alan island.
(Note that my summer schedule has been undecided, trips are being re-scheduled, and it is possible that I'll choose to cancel this trip.)
