9:30am at the end of Sebring Dr, a slip road just north of the Southworth Ferry. Parking may have a modest fee. Put into your GPS 11593 SE Sebring Dr, Port Orchard, WA. No public toilet at launch. There is a restaurant up the road for pre-launch toilet if needed, and a post-launch cuppa.
I expect this sea kayak trip to have this difficulty and plan to paddle in up to these conditions (view the sea kayak difficulties definitions on our Activity Types, Difficulties & Prerequisites page):
- Difficulty: SKII+
- Wind: <15kts
- Waves: <1.75 ft
- Currents: <1kt
- Distance: 10-14nm depending on group consensus
- Pace: moderate to brisk
Immersion wear required.
Bring Lunch. We'll do some meandering along both shores of Colvos Passage, and the subtitle of this paddle will be revealed!
