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-paddle 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 (as per listing).
Immersion wear required (if weather permits, may relax that later).
Bring Lunch. We'll do some meandering along both shores of Colvos Passage, and the subtitle of this paddle will be revealed!
Restricted to those who took the strokes and maneuvers clinic. If you take the clinic, you have my permission to sign up.
