Meeting time and location TBA.

We will be launching from Bowman Bay and heading to the Canoe Pass side of Deception Pass to play on a 6.0 ebb.  We will be combining plenty of time to practice our skills with some nice paddle time around Pass Island and Deception Island. 

Participants must have taken an introduction to Deception Pass class before, and must wear a dry suit, helmet and neoprene gloves. 

If you are a Tacoma Intermediate Sea Kayak Course student, bring your logbook along if you need the Deception Pass portion signed off.

This paddle qualifies for the Olympia branch's "Rapids and Riptides" paddle pin.
