This is an exploratory trip along the roadless coast west of Skamokawa. We'll paddle along the shore for about 7 nautical miles to Elliot Point and then return, either along the same shore or along the islands to the south. It appears that there are limited landing points along this shore, so be prepared to be in the boat for up to 2 hours at a time.
