Meet at the Bowman Bay beach (https://goo.gl/maps/CFKdnXNa8qDPe9c57) at 10am to launch 1030am.

Expect to be back to Bowman Bay ~4pm. We are planning to have lunch at Borrows Island Lighthouse and explore the coast of Alan Island, with 2 or 3 additional short breaks for stretch.  We are planning to do a circle around both islands in this trip (not a figure eight).

This is part of the Paddle and Camp weekend.  We have the Deception Pass group campsite reserved and you are welcome to register to camp there on Friday and/or Saturday nights.
